| Camera Footage of British Girls At Gatwick Airport |
Three British teenage girls have left their homes and school
to join ISIS in Syria. The girls boarded a plane to Turkey, after which they
were never seen again, leading to speculation that they are already in Syria.
The British government has been blamed by Turkish officials
who think Britain should have done more to stop the girls. There seems to be
different sides to the story between the British Metropolitan Police and
Turkish officials.
The Turkish officials say the British police reported the
matter 3 days after the girls had arrived in Turkey but the Metropolitan Police
say they reported the matter one day after the girls disappeared.
Still, there are questions why the British immigration
officials would allow 15 year olds to leave the country without proper
permission from guardians. Ironically, before the girls left, the Metropolitan
Police had been in touch with the girls to find out if they had any active links
to radical Islamic groups.
The three missing girls are Shamima Begum [15], Kadiza
Sultana [16] and Amira Abase [15].
It is believed the girls are on the track to join 500 other
Britons who have left the country to join the Islamic State in Syria. The
Islamic State recruits young people on Facebook, both girls and boys.
Europol (European Police) has a database of about 3,000
Europeans who are believed to have tracked to Syria and Iraq to join the war,
out of which 550 are female.
