It is not just about terrorism. It is a normal procedure to question people who travel from that region.
Most people traveling from Syria ask for asylum or have no valid travel documents, do not speak English and need some form of help. She could be someone who escaped ISIS and needed help.
Some other example: 20 years ago UK border force would question everyone who was traveling from Czechia. Because 0.1% of travelers from there would ask for asylum.

- tmalsburg2 10y ago> Most people traveling from Syria ask for asylum The woman in question is a Biritsh citizen (see title) who most likely speaks perfect English. Also she was travelling from Turkey not Syria.

Turkey is one of most popular tourist destinations for the UK, a vanishingly small percentage of people who travel from Turkey are interviewed.
