加拿大拘留涉嫌企圖加入伊斯蘭國的十名青年

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.加拿大警方在蒙特利爾主要機場拘留了10名年輕人，他們涉嫌準備出國加入伊斯蘭國激進組織。

加拿大皇家騎警星期二晚間說，上週末在蒙特利爾的特魯多國際機場採取了逮捕行動，並收繳了被拘留者的護照。

有關當局說，被拘留者的親友正在接受詢問，但尚未提出起訴。

加拿大警方發表聲明，要求媒體尊重這些年輕人家庭的隱私，並指出他們的家人正在努力應對他們的行爲，處境非常艱難。

加拿大當局一直對年輕人出國加入伊斯蘭國組織保持警覺。目前伊斯蘭國控制着伊拉克和敘利亞的大片地區。據信今年1月有六名加拿大青年前往土耳其，準備從那裏去敘利亞加入伊斯蘭國組織。

自那時以來，加拿大當局逮捕了涉嫌試圖出國加入聖戰組織的幾名年輕人。
