Combating the jihadist recruitment drive

Int: Thomas Hegghammer, Norwegian Defence ResearchNovember 27, 2014

A Dutch court has ordered the provisional release of a young woman, Aicha, being probed on terrorism charges. Aicha is a convert to Islam and travelled to Syria to marry an Islamic State fighter but her mother rescued her. Aicha's case is part of a wider trend of young Europeans being drawn to radical Islam. Thomas Hegghammer from the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment talks to Helen Seeney.
