British teenage trio who travelled to marry jihadis, on the run

The information about their run comes from a blogger within the ISIS controlled Mosul in Iraq

The three British teenage girls who had earlier fled to Syria early on February, appear to have been disillusioned, as reports indicate that they escaped the clutches of the ISIS in Iraq, and are now on the run, reports the Daily mail.

The information about their run comes from a blogger, within the ISIS controlled Mosul in Iraq, identifying as Mosul Eye, who posted in his facebook page that “Three girls, (Foreigners - British) married to ISIL militants, reported missing.” The fb update also mentioned that the ISIL was in a frantic search for them and had announced to all its checkpoints to search for them. “It is believed that those girls have escaped,” he wrote.

The Mosul eye, is the only source of this information, and claims in his/her fb page “This page was set up to communicate what's happening in Mosul to the rest of the world, minute by minute from an independent historian inside Mosul.”

Though the identity of the three missing girls have not been established, it is believed that they are the same trio from east London, Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana, who escaped to Syria from Britain through Istanbul to marry jihadis. The teenagers being lured to Syria shook the British public.

The blogger, on a recent post, ten days after the original one, said that “We cannot confirm, as of yet, if those girls were the same trio mentioned in the British media, as their identities still unknown to us. We don't have any new details about the girls, and unable to provide any assistance with this matter.”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail quoted Home Secretary Theresa as saying that the government was aware of the reports and that the issue was being looked into, and declined to say whether the trio would be allowed back into the UK if they managed to return, adding that it was a case-by –case decision.

The teenagers had earlier hit the headlines for posting selfies, one with a large array of takeaway dinner and with another teenage 'jihadi bride' just over a month ago. But their twitter accoutns have been suspended.

About 700 people are thought to have gone to Syria from Britain, of whom almost half are reported to have returned.
