The federal prosecutor's office has arrested a woman in Hamburg as a suspected member of the terrorist militia "Islamic State" (IS). She is said to have traveled to Syria with her underage children.
The German-Tunisian Omaima A. was "strongly suspected of having participated as a member of the foreign terrorist organization" Islamic State (IS) ". In connection with this there is also the urgent suspicion of violation of the duty of care and education and the violation of the War Weapons Control Act.

According to the investigators, A. traveled with her three children to an IS-controlled area in 2015, according to the authorities in Karlsruhe. Her then husband, the Frankfurt Islamist Nadir Hadra, fought for the militia. (More about the case Omaima A. read here.)
According to the federal prosecutor's office, A. was initially housed in a women's shelter of the IS in Rakka, Syria, separate from her then-husband. Later, the family moved to a shared apartment in the city. From then on, A. led the household and raised the children together "in the spirit of the IS-ideology", thus enabling her then-husband to become a fighter for the terrorist group. In March, A. also exercised "the actual violence over an assault rifle Kalashnikov AK 47".
After the death of Hadras in an air raid, according to the Federal Prosecutor's Office, money was received from the militia. A few months later, she is said to have married another IS member, the former rapper Denis Cuspert, and subsequently led the "joint household founded on him". A. left Syria in 2016, partly because of disputes with Cuspert, but also because her fourth child was to be born in Germany.
