South African teen stopped from leaving to join IS
2015-04-08
[RUDAW.NET] A South African teenager was taken off an airline flight because the 15-year-old girl was suspected to be leaving her home in Cape Town to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, state security officials said Monday.

The girl was found at the Cape Town International Airport on Sunday, said State Security front man Brian Dube. It is believed that she was planning to travel to Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
"There was information we were able to get that showed she might have been in contact with recruiters," said Dube. Security officials found documents in her home that showed she had been planning to join the military group.

The girl was questioned and then returned to her family's care, he said. The girl's family was also debriefed before she was sent home.

The State Security department is investigating how the teenager had paid for the flight and how she may have been recruited. Her parents discovered she was missing on Sunday morning and alerted the authorities, according to local media reports.
An Nahar reports:
The girl was reported missing by her grandparents Sunday morning when she disappeared from her Cape Town home.

She was found on a British Airways flight bound for Johannesburg later that day.

The girl was reportedly heading for The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, where she was allegedly planning to cross the border into Syria.

Appears to be an active ISIS recruitment effort in SA.
