Mother reportedly travels to Syria with her 14-month-old son to join ISIS<\/h3>\n

\"\"\/

\nHailing from Sparkbrook, Tareena Shakil is said to have traveled to Turkey and then crossed into Syria. She had told family she was going to Spain.<\/p>\n


\nThe mother reportedly committed to the group after a four month period and has told family she is in the group\u2019s stronghold called Raqqa, with her son Zaheem.<\/p>\n


\nA spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said, \u201cA 25-year-old woman from Sparkbrook was reported missing by a member of her family on October 24.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe have since been working to establish the woman\u2019s whereabouts and that she is safe and well.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nAccording to her father Mohammed, Tareena loved the Spice Girls and reality TV. The concerned parent released a statement saying,

\n\u00a0

\n\u201cWe brought Tareena up in a Western environment, while respecting the culture of Islam, and hoped that she would take the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cI, myself, have made mistakes in the past but it never affected that close, deep bond that exists in special father-and-his-daughter relationships.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cLike any father, I just want the best for my daughter.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe want her to know how much we love her and want her back safely as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe town of Raqqa is reportedly where British female Jihadists are forming a strong militant body that punish \u201cun-Islamic\u201d behaviour. <\/p>\n


\nTareena herself revealed to her family the difficulty in travelling to the war torn country, \u201cso many people died coming. They got shot at the border. But we made it. We ran across the border.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThis is one of many growing cases of women travelling to Syria to fight alongside the militant group or become \u2018Jihadi brides\u2019. Researchers estimate that almost 50 British women have fled to Syria and Iraq. \n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
