UK glamour model arrested over suspected ISIS link

A British glamour model who was on an ISIS-related terror watchlist after she used social media to communicate with Islamic State extremists has now been arrested.

Kimberley Miners is believed to have secretly converted to Islam and her “liking” and sharing ISIS videos had triggered an investigation by Britain’s anti-terrorist police and MI5 secret service. According to reports, she was detained on Friday for alleged offences under the Terrorism Act 2000 after officers had repeatedly warned her about her contact with extremists online.

Police also searched her home in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The 27-year-old was released on bail last evening pending further inquiries. “Officers have arrested a woman from Bradford on suspicion of the possession of terrorist material,” a spokesperson said.
