British twin teen girls who snuck out of their Manchester home to travel to Syria to become Jihadi brides were top students who had 28 GCSEs between them
Salma and Zahra Halane were among top 20 students at their girls' school
Aged 16, they boarded a flight to Turkey and crossed the border into Syria
It is thought they may have joined one of their elder brothers in fight
Last night their 44-year-old mother from Manchester said: 'I'm so shocked'
Officers are investigating whether flight was bankrolled by extremist fighters
Twin British schoolgirls who ran away to Syria were star pupils, with 28 GCSEs between them.
Salma and Zahra Halane were among the top 20 students at their girls’ school in Manchester but slipped out of their bedrooms and have fled abroad to become 'jihadi brides'.
The 16-year-olds, who disappeared two weeks ago have telephoned their parents to tell them they have reached the war-torn country and told them 'we're not coming back'.
Their mother told the Daily Mail last night: ‘I’m just so shocked.’ The 44-year-old, who wears a hijab, then broke down in tears at her semi-detached home in a leafy suburb of Chorlton, Manchester.
