加拿大警方在蒙特利尔主要机场拘留了10名年轻人,他们涉嫌准备出国加入伊斯兰国激进组织。

加拿大皇家骑警星期二晚间说,上周末在蒙特利尔的特鲁多国际机场采取了逮捕行动,并收缴了被拘留者的护照。

有关当局说,被拘留者的亲友正在接受询问,但尚未提出起诉。

加拿大警方发表声明,要求媒体尊重这些年轻人家庭的隐私,并指出他们的家人正在努力应对他们的行为,处境非常艰难。

加拿大当局一直对年轻人出国加入伊斯兰国组织保持警觉。目前伊斯兰国控制着伊拉克和叙利亚的大片地区。据信今年1月有六名加拿大青年前往土耳其,准备从那里去叙利亚加入伊斯兰国组织。

自那时以来,加拿大当局逮捕了涉嫌试图出国加入圣战组织的几名年轻人。

Canadian police have detained 10 young people at Montreal's main airport on suspicion of their preparing to travel overseas to join the Islamic State militant group.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said late Tuesday that they made the arrests last weekend at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport and withdrew the passports of the detainees.

Authorities said the families and friends of the detainees are being interviewed but no charges have been filed yet.

In a statement, the police asked the media to respect the privacy of the young people's families, noting that they are going through "very difficult times" as they try to cope with their children's actions.

Canadian authorities have been on alert for young people leaving the country to travel overseas and join the Islamic State, which controls territory in Iraq and Syria. A half-dozen young Canadians are believed to have traveled to Turkey in January, en route to Syria to join the group.

Since then, officials have arrested several other youths on suspicion of trying to travel overseas to join jihadist groups.
