1st London girl joining ISIL named
The first of four missing UK schoolgirls who left home for Syria has been identified.
The 15-year-old Sharmeena Begum from Bethnal Green is thought to have left the UK in December to join the militants in Syria.
Earlier, Sharmeena’s father had warned teachers at Bethnal Green Academy to keep an eye on three of her friends who have since disappeared.
Amira Abase, 15, Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, are now believed to have joined Sharmeena in Syria. All four teenagers are thought to be in Raqqa - the headquarters of ISIL militants in Syria.
Sharmeena’s father also said his daughter was recruited by the militants through social media.
Reports say, Sharmeena passed into Syria via Turkey. Having arrived in Syria, she called her father to say that would not come back.
