Woman kidnaps her two children to join ISIS in Syria

In the Netherlands

Newsroom March 16 06:58

A mother of Chechen descent kidnapped her two children and travelled to Syria to join ISIS, according to Dutch officials.

 

The divorced Dutch father and Dutch authorities were unable to prevent the 33 year-old woman – who remains unnamed- to leave the country. The most probably thing is that the mother and her children travelled through Europe with fake passports and aided by foreign ISIS recruiters.

 

The director of the Islamic school that the children were in notified their father that the mother had printed airplane tickets for all three, travelling to Greece, according to Reuters. It is thought that they are now in northeastern Syria and one of the many ISIS Headquarters.
