Terror threat/ U.K.
British Police have issued an urgent appeal looking for three schoolgirls after they
were reported missing today, believed to be heading to Syria via Turkey to join Islamist fighters.
The three school friends from East London’s Bethnal Green, ages 15 to 16,
left their homes before 8:00 a.m. local time Tuesday and met at Gatwick airport
in London where they boarded a Turkish Airlines flight, according to a police news release.
"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."
