Karlsruhe (dpa / sa) - 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.

In March 2015, the then 15-year-old is said to have traveled to Syria, joined ISIS and married a member of the terrorist militia secret service.

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 whom the federal government brought back from Syria over the weekend, according to media reports.

Accordingly, two other returnees are also being investigated.

The federal prosecutor did not want to comment on the report.

According to a statement, the woman was arrested at the airport by officials from the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Saxony-Anhalt.
