[AnNahar] British police said Tuesday they were investigating a report that two teenagers, who come from the same town as one of the 2005 London jacket wallahs, may have joined Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

on March 31, the regional police force said in a statement.
"We are extremely concerned for the safety of these two boys," the statement said. "Our priority is for their safe return; their families are gravely worried about them and want them home."
How about if the priority becomes protection of Britain from the likes of them?
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom said: "Syria is an extremely dangerous place and the public will be aware of the dangers these boys may face.
The "boys" are the same age I was when I joined the Army.
"The choice of returning home from Syria is often taken away from those that come under the control of Islamic State, leaving their families in the UK devastated and with very few options to secure their safe return," Milsom said.
On the other hand, once they're experienced head choppers you really don't want them back in dear olde Yorkshire or wherever it is.
British media reported that one of the teenagers is a relative of Hammaad Munshi, who is the grandson of a leading Islamic scholar in Dewsbury. In 2008, Munshi became the youngest Briton ever to be found guilty of terror offenses.

Dewsbury was also the hometown of Mohammad Sidique Khan, the ringleader of four homegrown suicide bombers who carried out the July 7, 2005 bombings which killed 52 people on three Underground trains and a bus in London.
Nice place, Dewsbury.
The news comes just days after six people were arrested leaving the seaport of Dover on suspicion of Syria-related terror offenses. Nine Britons were also arrested trying to cross over from Turkey to Syria last week. Hundreds of Britons are believed to have joined the Islamic State group in Syria in recent months despite a new law that reinforces security checks at airports.
Maybe it's because your priority's getting them back instead of keeping them the hell out.
