Here is an update of the story I posted here at the end of last month.
From AP at ABC News:
Finnish police have released a Somali woman arrested on suspicion of financing terrorism but are holding a Somali man as they further probe allegations that he recruited potential terrorists, authorities said Friday.
The pair’s arrests Sept. 7 were the first known terror-linked arrests in the Nordic country. Police said the two are suspected of links to the Somali Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which has ties to al-Qaida.
Detective Inspector Kaj Bjorkvist said the 28-year-old woman, who is a student and arrived in Finland in late 2008, has been ordered not to leave the country.
“Our suspicions have not changed, but we no longer felt it necessary to keep her in custody,” Bjorkvist said. “The man asked to be released, but the police objected and he remains in detention.”
Bjorkvist declined to give more details about the suspects.
The National Bureau of Investigation said earlier that the 34-year-old male detainee is suspected of recruiting at least one person abroad to commit an act of terrorism, linked to al-Shabab, “in the direction of Somalia.” He has lived in Finland since 2005, has a residency permit and has held several jobs.
