According to Skynews, the three missing schoolgirls who left Britain to join Islamic State have crossed into Syria and are believed to be staying at a house in al Raqqa.
Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, boarded a flight from Gatwick Airport bound for Istanbul last month.
Authorities feared the
teenagers, who attended Bethnal Green Academy in east London, were seeking to
join the Islamist militants.
Sky's Chief Correspondent
Stuart Ramsay said: "We're being told tonight that they've crossed into
Syria through a crossing... which is not too far from Kilis.
"They're now
apparently in a house that is owned or controlled - or at least hosted by - a
British girl who had been in contact with them through the internet, and had
brought them through Turkey and into Syria.
"We are told by...
good sources within the city of al Raqqa that they are there, that they are
safe.
"That is where they
are staying with this British girl who is hosting them.
"There's been a lot of
discussion about where they are, (and) how they got there. But we are told they
are now inside Syria, they are inside al Raqqa, and they are under the control
of Islamic State."
