Der Spiegel magazine reported that four German women who joined Isis in recent years, including a 16-year-old girl from the small town of Pulsnitz near Dresden, were being held in an Iraqi prison and receiving consular assistance. German girl arrested in Mosul is missing Linda Wenzel, say authorities Read moreLorenz Haase, senior public prosecutor in Dresden, said he could confirm the teenager, Linda Wenzel, had been “located and identified in Iraq” and was receiving consular support but could not say anything on her exact circumstances. German broadcasters NDR and WDR and newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung said they had interviewed Wenzel in the infirmary of a military complex in Baghdad and she told them she wanted to leave. German prosecutors said last week they were checking reports that a 16-year-old under investigation for supporting Isis was among five women arrested in the Iraqi city of Mosul, where Iraqi forces declared victory over Isis earlier this month. German authorities have been investigating a teenage girl who went missing from Pulsnitz last summer for alleged contacts with the jihadist group about preparing a possible act of terrorism.
