(Reuters) - Two young Spanish women, one of them under 18, have been arrested in the Spanish North African enclave of Melilla on suspicion of trying to join an Islamic State militant cell in the Middle East, the Interior Ministry said on Monday. The women were detained on Saturday trying to cross from Melilla into Morocco, where they planned to make contact with a network that would transport them to conflict zones in Iraq or Syria, the ministry said. The older one was 19. The younger one was not identified but media reports said she could be as young as 14.
Thousands of young people have set off from European countries to join Islamist rebels fighting in Syria, often finding recruitment agents through social media.
Teenage girls are no longer safe even in their home as too many weirdoes on Internet are trying to lure them away from their family.
