THREE teenage girls who left the UK in a suspected bid to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State extremist group have police concerned.

Scotland Yard said the three teenagers flew to Istanbul, Turkey from a London Airport last Tuesday without leaving any messages for family or friends.

Commander Richard Walton, head of the force’s counter-terror command, said the girls — Shamima Begum, Kadiza Sultana and a third unidentified girl, all aged 15 to 16 — were good friends of another 15-year-old girl who left for Syria in December.

He told the BBC police were becoming “increasingly concerned” about a growing trend of young girls showing an interest in ISIS.

“The choice of returning home from Syria is often taken away from those under the control of Islamic State, leaving their families in the UK devastated and with very few options to secure their safe return,” he said.

There are grave fears the girls may have been targeted by IS propaganda under the guise of being part of a humanitarian movement or to become brides to lure them in.
