September 05, 2015
A sergeant in the Netherlands Royal Air Force recently left for Syria and "probably connected with ISIS," the Dutch Defense Ministry said Thursday, citing evidence officials have uncovered.
The Dutch public prosecutor's office has opened a criminal investigation as officials are looking into any possible damage or risk to the country's military, according to the ministry.
The 26-year-old man no longer has access to military information and systems, the ministry announced.
