(ANSA-AP) - TIRANA, Albania — Albanian police say they have
arrested a female teacher for making statements supportive of
the Islamic State extremist group.
The teacher, whose name was not given, is being questioned at the anti-terror offices in the capital, Tirana, according to a spokesman who declined to be identified as the investigation is ongoing.
A private television station, TVKlan, broadcast the previous footage of the woman telling her young students at a Muslim school in Shkodra, 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Tirana, that IS "are good people but the state wants to fight them." About two-thirds of Albania's 3 million people are Muslims. Mainstream religious leaders have urged believers not to join rebel groups in Syria and Iraq but scores of Albanians are believed to have done so. (ANSA-AP).
