Sharmeena Begum reportedly arrested in Syria over alleged Berlin attack links
Sharmeena Begum, a British woman accused of recruiting Shamima Begum into ISIS, has reportedly been arrested in Syria after allegedly exchanging messages with Abdul Ballout, linked to a deadly Berlin Pride attack. German investigators reportedly passed her details to Western intelligence agencies, which traced her to Syria; her father said he had believed she was dead.
Begum left London for Syria as a schoolgirl in 2014 and allegedly helped persuade other Bethnal Green pupils to join ISIS. She is accused of supporting ISIS propaganda and fundraising, and reportedly escaped a Kurdish-run detention camp; having lost her British citizenship, she is expected to face terrorism charges in Syria, where a conviction could lead to the death penalty.
