UK police say 2 teenage boys may be in Syria

None

LONDON - British police has received a report that two missing 17-year-old boys, who disappeared from their homes last week, are in Syria, the West Yorkshire police said Tuesday.

 

Police said they are believed to have taken a flight from Manchester airport to Turkey on March 31. A report indicates the boys then traveled on to Syria, where the Islamic State group is fighting the government and other rebel factions.

 

Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom said the boys' families are "gravely worried" and that the top police priority is to bring the boys home safely.
