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….
