A woman who returned to The Netherlands with her two children after fleeing Syria has been arrested on suspicion of links with the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL), AFP reported Tuesday (August 2nd).
Identified in Dutch media reports as 20-year-old Laura Hansen, the woman was detained late Monday at Schiphol airport as she arrived in the country almost a year after leaving.
She had "allegedly fled the conflict zone in Syria" and arrived back in Schiphol airport "where she was arrested immediately on arrival", the Dutch prosecution service said.
She is "suspected of participating in a terrorist organisation in Syria and/or Iraq between September 1, 2015 and July 12, 2016", it added in a statement.
Her two children were taken into care, and prosecutors are now investigating whether to bring any formal charges.
A woman identified by the same name appeared on Kurdish television early last month saying she had fled from the grips of ISIL after being brought there by her husband against her will.
