A 15-year-old girl was prevented from joining the terror group Isil after police dramatically stopped her plane on the runway at Heathrow.

The youngster, from Tower Hamlets, London, had secretly saved up money for her flight without her parents’ knowledge and tried to flee to Syria.

But counter-terrorism officers, who had been tipped over about her plans, raced to the airport and stopped her plane which had already begun taxiing on to the runway.

The flight, which was heading to Turkey, was turned around while officers took the youngster off and returned her to her family.

However, in an unrelated case, it emerged a second 15-year-old girl who officers had also been trying to trace had managed to fly out earlier and is now feared to be in Syria.

They don’t check your passport when you leave a country, only when you enter.

“Let her go. Just don’t let her come back!”


My sentiments exactly. What would any normal parents do with a child like this? She is apparently fatally stupid.
