BAGHDAD — Kurdish special forces rescued a teenage Swedish girl from Islamic State-controlled territory near the city of Mosul, officials said on Tuesday.

The raid, according to a statement issued by the Kurdistan Regional Security Council, was conducted on Feb. 17. The statement misspelled the name of the Swedish girl, who had apparently left her hometown last summer to travel to Syria. She was identified in Swedish news reports as Marilyn Nevalainen, 16, from the Swedish city of Boras.

“She was misled by an ISIL member in Sweden to travel to Syria and later to Mosul,” the statement by Kurdish officials said, referring to an acronym for the Islamic State extremist group, also known as ISIS.

Kurdish officials said they had worked with the Swedish authorities and the girl’s family to find her, and that she was being provided with medical care and undergoing a debriefing by Iraqi Kurdish authorities.
