Two Canadians captured in Syria during the fight against the so-called Islamic State were arrested by the RCMP on Tuesday night after their flight landed in Montreal.

The women are the first the Canadian government has brought home from detention camps in northeast Syria for foreign ISIS members and their families.

Oumaimi Chouay, 27, was charged with four terrorism offences, including leaving Canada to participate in the activity of a terrorist group.

She is the first Canadian captured by U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters to face charges in Canada.
