Turkey has deported two other German citizens and suspected IS supporters. The women landed at the Frankfurt airport. They arrived on Friday evening against 21,34 o'clock with a Turkish Linienmaschine, said a spokesman for the Federal Police on request of the German press agency. They have been subjected to an entry check. The further course of action lies in the hands of the federal and state security authorities.
From security circles it was said that officials of the Federal Criminal Police Office had been on board. In a media report of the private Turkish news agency DHA on Friday evening of "foreign terrorist fighters" with German citizenship was mentioned, which had been deported to Frankfurt. A confirmation from the Ministry of Interior in Ankara was not available at first.
Nine German returnees this week
Thus, this week, Turkey has deported a total of nine people to Germany, which they described as alleged supporters of the terrorist militia "Islamic State" (IS) and Islamists. On Thursday, a German-Iraqi family had already been deported to Berlin.
Ankara had publicly announced on Monday the deportation of several German suspected IS supporters this week. At the beginning of October, Turkish troops invaded northern Syria and attacked the Kurdish militia YPG. The YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) still guard thousands of ISIS prisoners in northern Syria. According to pro-Kurdish media activists, despite the Turkish invasion, the SDF still has control of all IS detention centers, with the exception of Ain Issa.
According to dpa information, one of the women deported to Germany on Friday is a woman born in 1998, who managed to escape from the Kurdish-guarded Al-Hol prison camp in Syria. She was last in the Turkish city Gaziantep in deportation custody. In addition, a native Hanoverian should be put on the plane. It is said to have withdrawn from the now-defunct Syrian prison camp Ain Issa in the direction of Turkey.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) assured that the German authorities would ensure that Islamists and suspected IS supporters deporting Turkey pose no danger. These people would be subjected to a security assessment in the joint terrorist center of the federal and state governments, Merkel said in Berlin. "Accordingly, then of course it is ensured that these people pose no danger."
