Greek police arrest Syrian over suspected IS link

Greek police said Friday they have arrested a Syrian man over suspected links to the Islamic State group, after his wife complained to authorities that he was beating her and that he was a militant supporter.

The 32-year-old was arrested on Thursday in the northern city of Thessaloniki, where the couple live with their two young children.

Police searched their home after the woman filed a complaint of domestic violence and alleged he supported IS.

Officers found data on his phone that they said support the allegations of IS links, a police official told AFP.

The couple arrived in Greece in June 2016, landing on the island of Leros following the peak of the migrant crisis.
