Three Dutch jihadists arrested in Turkey: report

The Turkish police arrested three Dutch persons in an operation against terrorist organization Islamic State in Bursa, in the northwest of the country, sources within the Turkish security services told state press agency Anadolu. 

A total of four people were arrested, three of whom had a Dutch passport. They were linked to ISIS activities in Syria, according to Turkish media. At least one of the suspects is a woman who has both Dutch and Moroccan nationality. The fourth suspect is Iraqi. 

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not confirm the arrests to RTL Nieuws on Sunday. "We are looking into it", a spokesperson said to the broadcaster.
