THE family of Bradford sisters and their nine children feared to have travelled to Syria are still liaising with police in a bid to find them, according to their solicitor.

Khadija Dawood, 30, Sugra Dawood, 34, and Zohra Dawood, 33, along with their children, aged between three and 15, are feared to have travelled to link up with terror group Islamic State in the country.

The sisters and their children were due back in the UK on Thursday, June 11.

It is believed that ten of the family travelled to Istanbul on a flight on June 9.

The group of 12 split into two groups to cross into Syria from Turkey, an Islamic State smuggler later claimed.

But their family back home in Little Horton have not heard anything on their whereabouts and are still working closely with the police.

Balaal Hussain Khan (pictured), a lawyer acting for the fathers of the missing children, said: "There is no further update to do with this situation.

"They are just liaising with the police at the moment on what action can be taken."
