Belgian ISIS Fighter’s Wife Seeks Repatriation from Syrian Refugee Camp

By joining Syria in October 2012, Mohamed Mezroui was one of the first Belgian fighters in that country. Becoming a weapons supplier for the terrorist group, the Islamic State in Syria, the man was joined by his wife, Nadia Baghouri, in April 2013, with their child.

According to 7sur7.be, the couple first pledged allegiance to the Jabhat al-Nusra group, before rallying to the Islamic State (IS).

According to the investigations of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, the young woman, as a housewife, received an unemployment allowance of around 100 euros per month from the IS.

The same Prosecutor’s Office argues that, arriving with one child, she became, over time, the mother of three others, and refused to remarry, following the death of Mohamed Mezroui in 2018.

According to the same source, the former fighter Nadia Baghouri, in the summer of 2017, went to Deir-ez-Zor and, in January 2019, arrived in the Al-Hol refugee camp, where she is still located.
