European countries have tightened controls over potential jihadists travelling to and from Syria and Iraq ever since Islamic State (IS) combatants overran large swaths of Iraq in June. He is believed to have fought in Syria last year and came to Austria in December for medical treatment and to apply for asylum. He "had concrete plans to travel back to Syria," police spokesman Markus Haindl told AFP.
