she tried to rescue them. Zahra and Salma Halane, both 16, of
Chorlton, Manchester, disappeared overnight from their home in June.

Jama, 45, who are originally from Somalia, travelled to the region to
try to bring them home but Khadra was detained by fighters.

insisted that Allah had 'chosen' for them to be in Syria. She said she
had been exclusively chosen by Allah to come to al-Sham (Syria).'

'Everyone is really shocked the twins are still in Syria with these
so-called jihadi fighters who are carrying out such atrocities,' he
said.
'We, as a Somali people, are all appalled by their actions but we are
also desperately sad for their family.
