And according to a report by the Press Association, the runaway brides are young and British.  But according to the reports, the girls may not have an easy ride back home.

It was not specifi in terms of names and we can't say exactly if the missing girls refers to three British teenagers who disappeared from their homes on Februay 17, 2015 and flew through Turkey to join the Islamic State. CCTV images later confirmed they travelled through Gatwick and Turkey airports.

"Home Secretary Theresa May has declined to say whether three British jihadi brides reported to be on the run from the Islamic State terror group might be allowed back into the UK.", PA said.

Asked about reports that the teenage girls have gone missing in Iraq after being married to militants from the group - also known as Isil or Isis - Mrs May would say only that attempts to return are dealt with on a "case-by-case" basis.

Shamima Begun (15), Kadiza Sultana (16) and another mate (above), planned together and left their various homes at the same time on that day, first flying to Turkey before crossing over into Syria to join them. The three underage girls disappeared from their various homes at the same pre-arranged time.

According to PA, the Home Secretary confirmed that some young Britons who went to Syria or Iraq to join IS have come back after becoming disillusioned.

Reports of the girls' flight appeared on the Facebook page of Mosul Eye, which purports to be written by a blogger in the city, part of the large area straddling the Iraq-Syria border which has been occupied by IS.

On May 2, Mosul Eye posted: "Three girls, (Foreigners - British) married to ISIL militants, reported missing, and ISIL announced to all its check points to search for them. It is believed that those girls have escaped."

In a later post he added: "The latest info I got on them is they are still on the run, but still in Mosul, and ISIL is thoroughly searching for them and hasn't captured them yet.

"They are Brits, not immigrants, and they are very young teens (around 16 years old). That's all I have about them for now."

"The information in the report could not be independently verified and the exact identity of the girls and their fate is not known," PA said.
