A blonde, blue-eyed Dutch teenager from a Catholic family who was rescued by her mother after marrying an ISIS fighter in Syria is to appear in court Friday on terror charges.
Nineteen-year-old Aicha arrived in the Netherlands on Wednesday with her mother Monique after going to Syria in February to marry an ISIS fighter she saw as a Robin Hood figure.
Annemarie Kemp, a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office, told AFP Aicha had been arrested "on suspicion of crimes threatening state security."
She will make a brief court appearance behind closed doors on Friday to decide if she should remain in detention, with another hearing on Monday to decide if she should be charged. As is routine in the preliminary stage of Dutch prosecutions, Aicha's family name was not made public.
