They are “extremely valued” anti-terror targets. Most of the time, European authorities have insisted that they simply have to allow jihadis from their countries back in, because they’re citizens. That they have become combatants for an entity that considers itself at war with their countries doesn’t seem to enter into their considerations. So it is good that these two were arrested.
“Spanish ISIS Widows Arrested While Trying to Return to Europe,” by Adelle Nazarian, Breitbart, December 30, 2016:
Two Spanish nationals — widows who were married to two of the Islamic State’s (ISIS/ISIL) most notorious executioners — were arrested by authorities in Turkey while trying to sneak back into Europe from Syria.
According to the Daily Mail, Asia Ahmed Mohamed, 26, and Fatima Akil Laghmich, 21, were trying to sneak back into Europe by crossing through Turkey.
Asia was reportedly arrested along with her 21-month-old son. She was married to Moroccan national Mohamed Hamduch — who also went by the aliases “Kokito” and the “Headsman of Castillejos” — and was killed last year in the Islamic State’s battle for Aleppo.
Hamduch was known for his pictures smiling next to the decapitated heads of five of his victims in Syria.

According to RT, Asia married a second jihadist shortly after her first husband died and is currently eight months pregnant with his child. Her second husband reportedly died in combat.
Fatima, who was married to another Moroccan national Mourad Kadi, was arrested along with her three-year-old son.
The Daily Mail notes that both women had travelled to Syria from the Spanish city of Ceuta in 2014 to join the Islamic terrorist organization and were attempting to return to Europe following Aleppo’s fall from the Islamic State’s grip and deliverance back into the control of Syrian government forces.
The women are reportedly being held in Turkey.
They have been referred to as “extremely valued” anti-terror targets by Spain’s Ministry of the Interior due to their extensive knowledge of Islamic State members and their many supporters throughout Europe and Turkey….

Angemon says
Yup. They’re citizens? Good, then they can be charged with treason.
Vic says
To be a member of ISIS you must renounce all other loyalties, including the country of your birth. The IS is thus responsible for all jihadis and their widows and children, especially if there is no effort to publicly renounce all IS attachments and collaborate
Vic says
They should renounce their Loyalty to Islam. And that should put them in the apostate category.
All other citizenship rights should be revoked as soon it is clear that they have joined IS. We are at war with IS. Joining them is a treasonous act of choice. This should make people think when they are willing to join IS. If there is no cost for treason, then we fail to deter all potential recruits.
EYESOPEN says
Concur.
Salome says
I have taken the view that the IS ought to be recognised as a state and then war declared on it. Anyone who goes to fight for the army of a state on which war has been declared should then be deemed to have renounced his/her (probably his) citizenship. If legislation is required, bring it on. (In Australia dual nationals found fighting for IS can be sent back to their ‘other’ country, but it would be simpler to make IS the ‘country’.)
lagitane says
Excellent idea. Perhaps the Trump administration has that in mind and will work with other nations to accomplish that. In the meantime, just send all of these terrorists to an unowned, uninhabited deserted island someplace with rations and water for a month or so.
Rob Porter says
Salome, a very good idea.
Rob Porter says
Angemon, it’s no different in Canada. The useless, selfie-boy, 43 year-old going on 19 prime minister, Justin Trudeau, says it’s “not Canadian” and “we are better than that” to deny returning jihadists of their Canadian citizenship. This is like saying it’s “not Canadian and “we are better than that” to be clever and responsible, and stop Islamic terrorists from murdering your citizens. And this is clever?
Anne Smith says
Treason will no longer work in UK thanks to Tony Blair changing the law to stop making it a capital offence.
eur says
Are scum, are not Spanish, European … we do not have to take care of them and their children. They are fascists, to be responsible for it ummah.
Berengaria says
Perhaps Spain could be a bit more Agressive, Concerning the return of accomplices of Muslim Terrorists. These are not Famiies per se. A Muslim Marriage is walking around a stone a couple of times, I believe, they are Savages. The Spaniards were never so gentle with European Christians who ran afoul of Spanish Law.
Mark A says
The Islamic State has declared war on the EU. By supporting the Islamic State and actually going to Islamic State territory, these people have committed treason.
Commit treason and you should lose your citizenship.
Send these people back to the Islamic State.
Thomas says
Three step procedure
Seize the children as they will be put in danger through the actions of their parents
Strip the parents of citizenship and send them back
Raise the kids as Christians
Problem solved
Keys says
I like your 3 steps, Thomas. It protects the innocent all around, makes the guilty and unrepentant responsible for their actions, and requires them to suffer the consequences for their actions, not others.
These women are not sorry for their actions; so how can someone plotting harm on those to whom they wish to return be forgiven when they are not truely sorry? Only a fool would do so. The prodigal son returned repentant.
Your plan protects the innocent and expels the wicked. Just right.
EYESOPEN says
A “Solomon” solution.
Mong says
Citizenship should be revoked. Send them back to ISIS controlled territory, which will soon be dust.

“According to RT, Asia married a second jihadist shortly after her first husband died and is currently eight months pregnant with his child. Her second husband reportedly died in combat.”
Do they like to be treated as reproduction machine or what? They were born in a “free” country so for a normal person they would like to be treat with respect but they just act like crazy. I have more respect for those who suffers from depression and wants to commit suicide at least them are not behaving as some crazy suicide bomber. For the contrary, depressed people just want to end THEIR suffering (although they are selfish to not think about the ones that love them) but they don’t want to kill themselves expecting 72 virgins on paradise.
Guest says
They are finally free of their evil husband’s and instead of living a better life in Spain they choose to go back to hell? What is wrong with these people?
mortimer says
Returning jihadists should have the choice of living on a Devil’s Island or Guantanamo-like penal colony or they may find a third country to live in for the rest of their life.
Jihadists are not ‘citizens’ like others…they are traitors… they are too dangerous to live among loyal citizens. They should be segregated.
Anne Smith says
They should be sent back with their children to any Islamic country which will take them. Failing that send them to an offshore penal settlement with no chance of escape.
Why should the European taxpayer have to pay to raise their children in care?
Get rid of the whole rotten family.
