It is reported that intelligence services are investigating two Durban-based families and another 24-year-old man, after they were deported from Turkey – a transit point to Syria – on suspicion that they were going to join the Islamic State.

Police source said that the families, one with eight members and the other with three, were deported about a month ago, but authorities were only notified last week.

This is coming after a 15-year-old Cape Town girl was taken off a flight from Cape Town to OR Tambo by authorities who suspected she was planning to board an international flight to join Islamic State, which aims to create a caliphate based on an extreme interpretation of Islamic law.
