Woman returned from Syria charged with terrorism in Ontario

A 29-year-old woman who was among a group of women and children returned to Canada in April after years in a Syrian prison camp has been charged with a terrorism-related offense.

The RCMP says the charge was laid following an investigation by the Integrated National Security Team.

Four Canadian women and ten children landed in Montreal in April after being detained for years at al-Roj camp. Three of these women were arrested upon arrival and released on conditions.

Police say Ammara Amjad was arrested Thursday in Milton, Ontario, for allegedly participating in the activities of Daesh (the Islamic State armed group).

Ammara Amjad appeared in Brampton Provincial Court and was released on conditions.

His next court date is set for November 17.
