A Danish court on Friday stripped the citizenship of a 25-year-old former pizzeria owner who was convicted last year of fighting for Islamic State group (IS) in Syria.

The lawyer for the Danish-Turkish man - who during his trial denied fighting for IS but admitted working as a baker for the group in Syria - told broadcaster TV2 his client would appeal Friday's ruling.

The court order comes at a time of heightened security concerns in Europe in the wake of attacks in countries such as France, Germany and Britain.

Danish media identified the man Enes Ciftci, who was born and raised in Denmark.
   
Ciftci was originally sentenced to seven years in prison for allowing himself to be recruited in 2013 by IS to commit attacks in Syria, but allowed to keep his passport. Prosecutors appealed that sentence, leading to Friday's hearing.

So, once they are stripped of citizenship, where do they go? But it's a good idea for certain.

So, once they are stripped of citizenship, where do they go? But it's a good idea for certain.

That'd be their problem. Not ours.
