Security footage appears to show 3 British girls, believed to be heading for Syria to join Islamic State (ISIS) militants, waiting at a bus station in Istanbul. Close friends Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-olds Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, boarded a flight from London to Istanbul on February 17. The CCTV images show the 3 girls entering a bus terminal in Istanbul’s Bayrampasa district on the European side of the city, which the trio reached by metro from the airport. The footage was recorded in the early hours of February 18, less than 24 hours after the girls left their homes in east London, telling their families they were heading out for the day. An estimated 550 Western women have travelled to join the militants in Iraq and Syria.
