The UK's Foreign Office confirmed on Tuesday the detention of a British citizen in Ankara while en route to a Daesh-controlled area in Syria.
"We can confirm the detention of a British national in Ankara and are providing consular assistance," a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.
A woman, 21, and identified as J N H, was detained at a bus terminal in the capital Ankara and is being held pending deportation hearings, Sky News reported Tuesday.
A Turkish official said authorities apprehended her based on Turkish intelligence and were not tipped off by British authorities.
Correspondence and images on her mobile phone indicate she was planning to head to Daesh territory, officials said.
