2015-03-16
[VOA News] Three British teenagers suspected of trying to join 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
have arrived back in London after being deported from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, a Turkish official said.
Probably Nigel, Percy and Cecil again. There's just no ontrolling those boys.
The three, aged between 17 and 19, were detained in Istanbul after British authorities tipped off their Turkish counterparts that they were planning to travel through Turkey to neighboring Syria.

The three, who have not been named, were detained on Friday, Turkish sources told Rooters.

Police in London said they had been made aware that two 17-year-old boys had gone missing and were thought to be traveling to Syria. Further inquiries revealed they had traveled with a 19-year-old male.

"Officers alerted the Turkish authorities who were able to intercept all three males, preventing travel to Syria," the police statement said.
