One of the three east London schoolgirls who fled to Syria to join the Islamic State, was reportedly killed in an airstrike. Kadiza Sultana, 16, left her life behind in February last year, along with Amira Base and Shamima Begum, to join the terrorist outfit in Raqqa. As per unverified sources, Sultana was killed in a Russian bombing raid while trying to escape.
Her family said, "We were expecting this in a way. But at least we know she is in a better place. We do not wish her name to come up in the headlines again... She is gone and we would like to respect her wishes."
The three girls who studied at Bethnal Green Academy, are believed to have married IS fighters on reaching Syria, and are among 800 Britons thought to have left the country to join the militant group. Sultana was in sorts after joining the caliphate. Phone calls with her sister had her reportedly say, "I don't have a good feeling, like I feel scared. If something goes wrong that's it."
