An Australian mother has been arrested boarding a plane with her four young children bound for war-torn Syria in an alleged bid to become involved in the bloody civil conflict.
Police in Sydney arrested the 29-year-woman allegedly carrying cash and camouflage clothing for her husband who was already in Syria fighting in the country’s bloody civil war.
Detectives from the New South Wales Joint Counter Terrorism Team arrested the woman at Sydney Airport shortly before she was due to board the international flight.
Police targeting Australians engaged in ‘foreign incursion’ and ‘recruitment’ offences arrested the woman and took her to Mascot Police Station, near Sydney Airport, where a group of Muslim protestors gathered outsides.
