North Londoner Silhan Ozcelik remanded over terror plan
An 18-year-old woman has appeared in court accused under terrorism law, after she allegedly tried to join Kurdish militants in the Middle East.
Silhan Ozcelik was arrested at Stansted Airport on 16 January, when she arrived on a flight from Germany and was released on police bail the next day.
Ms Ozcelik, from north London, was remanded in custody after appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
She is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 1 April.
Ms Ozcelik, of Highbury Quadrant, Holloway, has been charged with one count of engaging in conduct in preparation to commit acts of terrorism.
She is accused of travelling by Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels on 27 October and then attempting to join the guerrilla army in the Kurdistan Workers' Party, known as the PKK.
The party, which is proscribed as a terrorist group by UK authorities, is fighting against Islamic State in Syria.
