British Teens Trying To Join IS Back In UK

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 15 Maret 2015 | 22.11

Three British teenagers planning to join the terror group Islamic State in Syria have been detained in neighbouring Turkey.

The group, who have not been named, were apprehended at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul.

They first travelled from England to Spain before flying on to Turkey, according to Sky sources.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said counter-terrorism officers were alerted on Friday that two 17-year-old boys from northwest London had gone missing and were believed to be travelling to Syria.

Enquiries revealed they had gone with a third male, aged 19.

Officers alerted the Turkish authorities who intercepted all three and prevented them crossing the border into Syria.

The group remain in detention in Turkey.

Turkish authorities are in touch with their UK counterparts to arrange their deportation to Britain this week.

The families have been kept informed of developments, Scotland Yard said.

The detention of the boys reveals cooperation between the UK and Turkish police forces, which has faced criticism after three British schoolgirls travelled to Syria to join IS.

Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15,  flew from Gatwick to Istanbul on 17 February and are feared to have continued to Syria to become so-called "jihadi brides".

The girls, who all attended Bethnal Green Academy in East London, are believed to be staying in a house in the IS militants' stronghold Raqqa.

The teenagers are thought to have stolen family jewellery to fund their trip, according to police.
