Prosecutors said the German national was arrested in the town of Geretsried, south of Munich, adding that she is accused of helping an Iraqi, Aymen A.-J., who has been in pretrial detention since January.

The arrested woman is said to have been mainly responsible for contacting female Islamic State members.
