A 19-year-old Kenyan woman residing in Milan was arrested at Orio al Serio Airport while attempting to board a flight to Turkey, with plans to join jihadist forces in the Middle East.

The arrest, executed by Milan's anti-terrorism police, followed an investigation into her radicalization process, which began in October.

Authorities identified her through social media, where she shared radical propaganda videos.

The investigation revealed her connections with individuals in the Middle East, who were likely facilitating her travel.

Her arrest was confirmed by a Milan judge, and she now faces charges of recruitment for terrorism purposes.
