(Deutsche Welle) German authorities have pressed war crimes charges against a suspected member of the so-called “Islamic State” (IS), the federal prosecutor general in Karlsruhe announced Wednesday.
What do we know so far?
The German national, Jalda A., is believed to have married several members of IS, according to a statement from the prosecutor’s office. She was detained in October upon her arrival in Frankfurt airport, as a warrant had been issued for her arrest by Hamburg’s higher regional court.
She first traveled to Syria via Turkey in 2014, with the intention of joining the terrorist group. She then married an IS member shortly afterward and lived in the Syrian cities of Tal Abyad and Raqqa, according to prosecutors.
