Shamima Begum - report

Jihadist and former British citizen (born 1999)

Shamima Begum is a British-born woman who entered Syria to join the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) at the age of 15. She was a student at Bethnal Green Academy in London when she and two schoolmates – who became known as the Bethnal Green trio – travelled to Syria in February 2015. Begum married a fellow ISIL member 10 days after her arrival and had three children who all died young. The Daily Telegraph reported that Begum had developed a reputation as an enforcer amongst other members of ISIL and had tried to recruit other young women to join the group.
