Authorities arrested a 19-year-old woman in Zoetermeer, just east of The Hague, on suspicion of recruiting jihadists for Syria, after families complained that relatives had gone to Syria to fight. A broader investigation has also been launched into the recruitment of Dutch jihadists; while travel to Syria cannot be prohibited, the recruitment of jihadists is punishable by jail terms and fines. At least 107 Dutch citizens are believed to have gone to Syria for jihad.
