Families fear UK schoolgirls who joined ISIS are dead: Report

Published on: 

The families of three east london schoolgirls who fled to join the Islamic State terror group in Syria nearly two years ago fear they have been killed in the war-torn country, a media report said on Sunday.

Relatives have not heard from any of the girls for more than a year when one of the teenagers Kadiza Sultana died in an air strike in the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de-facto capital of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Middle East.

The families of the three other girls had previously been in intermittent contact via telephone and the Internet but have not heard from them since May 2016, ‘The Sunday Times’ reported.
