Shamima Begum, who fled the UK in 2015 to travel to Syria at age 15 with two schoolgirls has said that she only left UK to join ISIS in Syria because 'she didn't want to be left behind' and says she only supported the fanatics because she was 'naive'. According to Daily Mail, Shamima Begum while talking to a documentary, claimed she and her friends were recruited online. “Ms Begum, 21, said she was 'black sheep' of her family and was 'young and naive’. She is held at the al-Roj camp in northern Syria after having citizenship stripped,” the report said.
