Three schoolgirls from east London have boarded a flight to Turkey and are feared to be travelling on to Syria to join ISIS extremists.
Shamima Begum, 15, (top left) Kadiza Sultana, 16, (bottom left) and an unnamed 15-year-old flew to Istanbul from Gatwick Airport, where CCTV footage (centre) showed them meeting up and going through security earlier this week. They were last seen at their homes in east London on Tuesday morning when they gave their families 'plausible reasons' to be out for the day. The three are all described as 'straight-A' students from Bethnal Green Academy school. The Metropolitan Police said they are becoming 'increasing concerned' about a growing trend of young girls showing an interest or intent in joining ISIS (right), an organisation now notorious for its barbaric treatment of hostages and oppression of women.
