Twelve students including British, Canadian, Sudanese and U.S. citizens are feared to have travelled from Khartoum to Turkey to try to join the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) group, their university's dean told AFP Sunday.

Khartoum airport authorities confirmed the group had travelled to Turkey and the students' families said they had not seen them since Friday and were unable to find their passports, Babikir added.
