:00:13. > :00:15.An international search is on for a Somali teenager from Bristol `

:00:16. > :00:19.who's left home and is known to be heading to Syria.

:00:20. > :00:21.Avon and Somerset police sax there are indications that

:00:22. > :00:24.the 15 year old girl has bedn radicalised ` and there are fears

:00:25. > :00:26.she might be intending to join Islamic State terrorists.

:00:27. > :00:36.Our reporter Scott Ellis has been following the story.

:00:37. > :00:43.The 15`year`old girl left Bristol last Wednesday, bound for Sxria we

:00:44. > :00:49.understand heading out of the country via Heathrow, where she may

:00:50. > :00:53.have met up with a 17`year`old girl from London. The teenager's parents

:00:54. > :01:00.reported her missing, Avon `nd Somerset Police confirmed they have

:01:01. > :01:05.tracked the teenager as far as Istanbul, and she is set on

:01:06. > :01:08.travelling further east to Syria. Their intentions may be

:01:09. > :01:13.humanitarian, helping in aid convoy or refugees, but with policd

:01:14. > :01:19.involvement in Bristol, London and internationally, there is a fear

:01:20. > :01:34.that she may go one and join a terrorist organisation like IAS ``

:01:35. > :01:37.like Islamic State. After rdading posts on her Facebook, police

:01:38. > :01:44.suggest she could have been radicalised. Everybody is concerned

:01:45. > :01:49.about her safety, this is a teenage girl heading into what is

:01:50. > :01:53.essentially a war zone, but at the same time, the Somali parents have

:01:54. > :01:57.used the words brainwashing, wondering whether she was

:01:58. > :02:03.brainwashed or radicalised by somebody in the country, perhaps

:02:04. > :02:07.even Bristol. Or was it just the teenager using the Internet,

:02:08. > :02:11.exploring ideas about terrorism The police say they are doing everything

:02:12. > :02:13.they can to support the famhly, and that they can get hold of the

:02:14. > :02:18.teenager to prevent entering Syria. Well joining us now is Profdssor

:02:19. > :02:21.David Galbreath from the Unhversity of Bath, who's an expert in

:02:22. > :02:23.International Security. How common is this for a girl so

:02:24. > :02:36.young? What will have been said to make her

:02:37. > :02:43.want to go? The biggest isste is the plight of the Sunni Muslim people in

:02:44. > :02:47.Syria, they have suffered dtring the Assad regime, the politics of

:02:48. > :02:54.annihilation, as it will be presented to her, is a great

:02:55. > :03:02.motivation to try and help. Is it unusual for a girl this young to go

:03:03. > :03:08.out and get involved? It is unusual. Highly unusual. We have seen cases

:03:09. > :03:14.of children this young from London, also from the Netherlands, Germany,

:03:15. > :03:20.other places seeking to go to Turkey, even ending up in Sxria

:03:21. > :03:21.Many leave quite early, thex are not radicalised, others are

:03:22. > :03:22.unfortunately killed in acthon. What hope have they got of finding

:03:23. > :03:38.her and bringing her home? The long border between Syrha and

:03:39. > :03:46.Turkey is hard to police. The hopes of the authorities finding her are

:03:47. > :03:56.stacked against them. The qtestion is can a 15 euros girl `` a

:03:57. > :03:59.15`year`old girl get through the border unmolested? Either from the

:04:00. > :04:14.Turkish military or other insurgent groups.

:04:15. > :04:23.Around seven `` around 700 friends and relatives gathered for the

:04:24. > :04:28.funeral of Sam Amin today. The day that no parent should ever

:04:29. > :04:33.see, the family of Sam Amin, led by the Cadet band into the Abbdy to say

:04:34. > :04:39.goodbye. Inside hundreds of friends and family from all over Bath and

:04:40. > :04:45.the world came to remember him. Sam's father spoke in his n`tive

:04:52. > :04:56.friends described him as popular, cool, you could make friends and

:04:57. > :05:01.lamp post. The best guy I vdnue the best kid in Bath, the any rdason I

:05:02. > :05:06.got up for school everyday. Such a good, loyal friend, so happx, nobody

:05:07. > :05:14.had a bad word to about him ever. It was just over two weeks ago, he went

:05:15. > :05:19.out to say goodbye to friends, never came home. His body was found in the

:05:20. > :05:23.River Avon. We must honour Sam, and come together as a city anything in

:05:24. > :05:30.a seat to prevent any other family having to suffer this grief. His
