OSH. May 4 (Interfax) - Kyrgyz security services have brought back home a Kyrgyz woman recruited by an international terrorist organization for being sent to the Syria war zone.
A citizen of Kyrgyzstan born in the Batken region in 1989 was returned to the home country in the course of the State Committee for National Security's operation preventing the departure of Kyrgyz citizens for fighting in Syria, a committee spokesman told Interfax on Thursday.
"It appeared that the woman was recruited by members of an international terrorist organization and sent to Turkey for the purpose of further travel to Syria. The woman arrived in Turkey together with her child; both of them were handed over to their kin," the spokesman said.
The State Committee for National Security is working to establish the identity of individuals who recruited and sent the Kyrgyz citizen to the hostilities zone in Syria.
According to the Kyrgyz law enforcement authorities, about 600 people, including approximately 100 women, in addition to children and teenagers, have left Kyrgyzstan for Syria and other countries of the Middle East.
