Dutch secret service give potential jihad goers’ names to Turkey
The Dutch secret service AIVD has given to Turkey the names of over 100 young men and women they believe may be planning to go to Syria to fight with Muslim rebels there, the Volkskrant says on Monday.
Turkey has agreed to pick them up and deport them if they are spotted, the paper says. ‘We have a no-entry list,’ a police spokesman told the Volkskrant. ‘Everyone on this list will be refused entry if they try to cross the border.’
Around 150 Dutch nationals are said to be in Syria, most of whom travel through Turkey to get there.
