Karlsruhe (dpa) - A so-called IS returnee from Syria was arrested on arrival at Frankfurt / Main Airport on suspicion of terrorism.
The federal prosecutor accuses the young German of membership in a terrorist organization abroad as well as aiding and abetting a crime against humanity and a violation of the weapons law, as the authority announced on Sunday.
The Federal Foreign Office has meanwhile confirmed a return campaign of three women and twelve children from camps in northeast Syria to Germany.
The arrested woman is said to have traveled to Syria in March 2015 as a 15-year-old, joined ISIS and married a member of the terrorist militia secret service, the Attorney General said.
Together with her husband, she is said to have temporarily kept a Yazidi woman as a slave and sold her on.

Together with her husband and their two children, she reportedly fled the northern Syrian city of Al-Rakka in the summer of 2017.
After further moves, she was finally taken in at the beginning of January 2019 together with the children in a refugee camp where she lived until she left.
It should be brought before an investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice on Sunday.
The arrest warrant issued against them is reportedly from May of this year.
According to a report by "Spiegel", the arrested woman who is supposed to come from Saxony-Anhalt is one of the women who the federal government brought back from Syria at the weekend.
Accordingly, two other returnees are also being investigated.
Neither the Federal Prosecutor nor the Foreign Office wanted to comment on the Spiegel report.
The Foreign Office only referred to the press release by the Attorney General on the arrest of the woman.
This was reportedly arrested at the airport by officials from the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Saxony-Anhalt.
The Federal Foreign Office has confirmed the return campaign of three women and twelve children from camps in north-eastern Syria to Germany, which became known on Saturday, but did not provide any information about a suspected IS history of the women.
The people who were brought back to Germany are reported to be twelve children, including seven orphans, and three women from the Roj and Al Hol camps in northeast Syria.
Two other women and six other children were brought to Finland.

“I am very relieved that yesterday we were able to bring twelve more children and three mothers of them back from camps in northeast Syria.
This good news shortly before Christmas makes us confident that we will be able to make a return possible in other cases too, ”said Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD).
"We will work towards this in the coming weeks and months."
