BERLIN: Federal prosecutors have arrested a German woman on charges of membership in a terrorist organization and for allegedly joining Daesh in Syria.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that Sibel H., whose last name wasn’t given in line with privacy laws, also faces war crimes and weapons charges.
They allege she traveled to Syria with her husband in 2016 to join Daesh, and ended up in Mosul, Iraq. Prosecutors say they lived in homes seized by the group, and she ran the household to support her husband’s work as a nurse in a Daesh hospital.
As Daesh began to collapse, they fled through Kurdish-controlled areas in the north and were captured by a militia in 2017.
Prosecutors refused to provide further information on her or her husband.

Ukraine’s Zelensky says allies to provide new energy and military aid within 10 days
KYIV: Ukraine has agreed new energy and military support packages with European allies ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday.
Kyiv is aiming to rally support among partners as it struggles to fend off Russian battlefield advances and air attacks on its energy system while under US pressure to negotiate peace.
“In Munich, we agreed with the leaders of the Berlin Format on specific packages of energy and military aid for Ukraine by February 24,” Zelensky wrote on X.
Zelensky said on Friday after a meeting of the so-called Berlin Format of about a dozen European leaders in Munich that he had hoped for new support, including air-defense missiles.
“I am grateful to our partners for their readiness to help, and we count on all deliveries arriving promptly,” he added.
Russian attacks on major cities such as Kyiv have battered Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, plunging millions of residents into power outages of varying periods in freezing cold weather.
Zelensky added that Russia had launched around 1,300 attack drones, 1,200 guided aerial bombs and dozens of ballistic missiles at Ukraine over the past week alone.
