(ITV) Twin sisters from Manchester who went to Syria to join Islamic State have told ITV News how they were arrested and are being detained in a high-security detention centre after trying to escape from a refugee camp.
Zahra and Salma Halane said they had been trying to break out to return to Europe when they were caught a few weeks ago.
The sisters were born in Denmark but were “raised from a baby” in Chorlton.
Aged 16, they left the UK to travel to Syria in June 2014 and were dubbed the “terror twins” in newspaper reports.
The sisters escaped IS territory during the battle for Baghouz last year, the terror group’s last stronghold.
