A 15-year-old girl from southern Sweden, who has been missing since last month, has phoned her family to say she’s in Homs in Syria, Swedish media are reporting. The teenager, who has been put on an international watch-list, is said to have called home a few days ago, telling her mother that she had made it to Syria after travelling through Turkey with her boyfriend. The teenager suggested that she was planning to join al-Nusra, an extremist Islamist group with links to al-Qaeda. She told her family that she was currently in Homs but that the couple were planning to travel to another city shortly, adding that she would live with a group of women while her partner began military training. ‘I am waiting to hear back from them,’ the teenager’s mother is quoted as saying. ‘I cannot describe how terrible this is and I just wish I could go there myself and fetch her.’
