British Twin Girls, 17, Who Joined ISIS Trying To Return To UK

Reports say twin schoolgirls Zahra and Salma Halane, 17, who fled Britain to become jihadi brides in Syria could be trying to return home. They are thought to be among three teenage girls reported to have escaped the clutches of Islamic State in Mosul, Iraq.

The Somali-born twins, who achieved 28 GCSEs between them and had ambitions to become doctors, could be trying to make their way to the Turkish border or the safety of Kurdish forces.

But yesterday Theresa May suggested that they may not be allowed back in.

Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, the Home Secretary said: ‘We look on a case-by-case basis, and people have come back – youngsters who have gone there and suddenly realise what a mistake they’ve made.’

A blogger known as Mosul Eye said militants were desperately hunting for the girls. If the teenagers are caught by the extremists they will almost certainly be executed.

Police believe the girls were radicalised online and by their brother Ahmed. They fled their home in Manchester last July. It is understood they married IS militants but were widowed when their husbands were killed in fighting.

The girl’s father, Ibrahim, 52, said his daughters have told him ‘everything has changed’, The Sun reported today.

Last night a senior member of the Somali community in Manchester told The Daily Mail: ‘The family are extremely positive the twins are trying to get home… (and) are praying they come back safely.’
