(ANSA) - Milan, December 27 - A Moroccan-born female Italian
foreign fighter was arrested at Milan's Malpensa Airport on
December 23 and will be extradited to France by January 8,
sources said Wednesday.
The woman was arrested on her return from Syria, where she
had fled about nine months ago with her three children to join a
'soldier' in an ISIS-linked group she had fallen in love with.
The woman had left her husband, a Neapolitan she lived with
on the Costa Azzurra.
The woman, seven-months pregnant by the man she joined at
Termanin near Aleppo, agreed to French authorities' extradition
request so that she could be closer to her children, aged six,
eight and 10, who had rejoined their father at Juan Les Pins,
sources said.
She reportedly told Italian prosecutors that life in Syria
had been very hard.
