mk.ru (Russian)

A Russian woman found near the Turkish-Syrian border with her child is unlikely to have been recruited by militants, according to a forensic expert. The expert stated that her location alone does not prove involvement in terrorism, as terrorist recruiters typically seek women for suicide attacks, not those with young children and no prior religious commitment. The woman and her son, who had been missing, are under police protection in Turkey and will be deported to Russia.
