| [ARABNEWS] A missing South Korean teenager suspected of joining the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group had a Twitter account, "Sunni Mujahideen," on which he tweeted his desire to enrol with the turban group, police said Wednesday. The 18-year-old middle school dropout, identified only by his surname Kim, went missing in Turkey earlier this month, and there is speculation that he crossed into Syria. "Many materials suggest that he was greatly interested in IS, but we cannot confirm whether he has joined them," Chung Jae-il, a senior Seoul police officer told journalists. If confirmed, it would be the first known case of a South Korean national joining any radical group. The teen was last seen leaving his hotel in the southern Turkish city of Kilis -- not far from the border -- on January 10. A South Korean Foreign Ministry official said Tuesday that CCTV footage obtained by Turkish police showed Kim taking an unlicensed taxi, together with an unidentified man, outside a mosque near his hotel. They got out near a refugee camp in Besiriye, about 18 km southeast from Kilis, the official said. Police said Kim posted a series of messages on his Twitter account in October last year, asking for help in approaching the Islamic State group. |
