What happened to the rest of the Bethnal Green trio who joined ISIS with Shamima Begum?

Begum made headlines after declaring she wanted to return to the UK and it was revealed that her newborn son died this week. Here's what we know so far.

Shamima Begum

Shamima Begum was just 14 when she left her family home in Bethnal Green with two friends and fled to Syria.

She caused controversy after she gave an interview with a Times journalist who found her in a refugee camp after she and her husband were caught by the Kurds.

Begum, now 19, told the journalist that she didn't regret joining the murderous cult but was desperate to return home and have her baby with the support of the NHS.

She is married to Dutch Islamist fighter Yago Riedijk, 27, was in regular contact with seven men feared to have targeted a rock festival in the city of Arnhem.

The mum of three from East London moaned last year how she missed fish and chips and the NHS.

Shamima's brazen lack of remorse sparked fury as she said the Manchester Arena suicide bombing was justified and claimed she deserves more sympathy.

Innocent Jarrah, who was a British citizen, is now the teen's third child to die after she fled the UK to join up with the terror group in Syria.

A paramedic at the scene told the BBC the tot was having breathing difficulties and was taken to hospital along with Begum on Thursday morning.

But the baby couldn't be saved and passed away at 1.30pm after suffering from a lung infection.

The jihadi bride was later taken back to the refugee camp in Syria to bury her child, the paramedic added.

There had been some confusion earlier over whether the baby was still alive, but the Syrian Defence Force (SDF) has tonight confirmed his death.


Amira Abase

Amira Abase left the UK when she was just 15 to become an ISIS bride, but her dad has since called for her to be allowed back because she made a "mistake".

Hussen Abase hasn't seen or spoken to his daughter since she left in 2015 but still believes that she is alive.

He blamed ISIS's social media propaganda for "tricking" the girls to go to Syria, telling Sky News: "Teenagers don’t contemplate things, they can be easily tricked, they should be forgiven.”

His comments come despite not hearing from his daughter as Amira is unaccounted for after recent bombing in Baghouz, eastern Syria.

Kadiza Sultana

It is believed that Kadiza Sultana was killed in a 2017 airstrike after she fled the country with her pals.

Her family, who had been in contact with her over the phone told ITV News that she was killed in a Russian bomb strike in Raqqa in May.

She was just 16 when she flew to Istanbul and travelled to the Syrian boarder.
