3 British Girls Leave Home to Join ISIS in Syria.
A week ago three British school girls packed their bags and left hom to join ISIS group. The three teenage girls named Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, are three friends from East London’s Bethnal Green left their by 8:00am local time, to board a Turkish flight. The girls are suspected to be enroute Syria to join ISIL.
Reports says "British Jihad Brides" are being groomed on line , being brainwashed on Twitter and are asked to contact the Islamic state through a programme called Surespot.
According to dailymail,
The app – run by privacy and drug legalisation campaigners in Colorado – is designed so messages are totally encrypted and cannot be intercepted by authorities.
When messages are deleted by the IS member, they automatically also erase from the phones used by the British teenagers so no trace of the incriminating conversation is left.
Surespot’s owners, who have made an estimated £140,000 in revenue since it launched in 2013, insist it is protecting an ‘essential liberty’ and has no responsibility to stand in the way of IS. Continue to read more....

Meanwhile, both the British and Turkish Security has shown great concern in the matter since it surfaced.
"We are reaching out to the girls using the Turkish media and social media,” Britain’s Counter-Terrorism Commander Richard Walton said, “in the hope that they hear our messages, hear our concerns for their safety and have the courage to return now, back to their families who are so worried about them."
Should the girls see news reports about themselves, Walton said he hopes they’ll listen to such a “direct appeal.”
“Clearly if these three girls travel to Syria, they’re in grave danger,” he said. “We are aware as many people of the treatment of girls and women currently in that part of Syria. You know the prospect is not good and we want to prevent them from getting there.”
Turkey is described as the most popular route travelled by people who want to volunteer to ISIL in Syria. More than eight girls have said to have left home from Europe and the U.S in the last 7months to become " British Jihad Brides".
