‘Almost 20 teenage girls fled Britain to join terror group in Syria in 2014’

 

Almost 20 teenage girls fled Britain to join ISIL terrorists in Syria last year, it has emerged.

The stream of young women covertly leaving their families in the UK to live with the ISIL terrorists is a “growing problem” of “real concern”, said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Ball, al-Alam reported.

The Met’s National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism added that police are in talks with the Government about getting “extra resources” to combat the worrying trend.

Ball told BBC: “In the last year, about 22 young women have travelled to Syria. And when I say young, all but four of those 22 were aged 20 or younger.

Her comments came after three schoolgirls from East London left their homes and are believed to have travelled to Syria during February half-term.
