(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Austrian security authorities arrested a Swedish teenager who is seventeen years old, on charges of planning to travel to Syria.

Sky News quoted the spokesman for the Austrian police, Roman Haslinger, as saying that “the arrest operation of the teenage girl was in the railway in Vienna.”

He added that “the girl is in police custody,” indicating that “she was intending to meet her girlfriend in the Austrian capital Vienna before going to Syria.”

The girl’s family said that she became an extremist and was afraid from her determination to join the ISIS organization in Syria, according to the report.
