Austria stops two teenage schoolgirls from going to Syria

The police in Austria have stopped two teenage schoolgirls from gong to Syria – as per the police, the girls aged 14 and 15 wanted to join Islamist guerrillas zeenews.india.com. European countries have already tightened controls in a bid to stop people travelling to join Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq and, all of them are not men.
The two girls had apparently met and got to know each other on the web and one of them had said she wanted "to support IS, it does not matter where". They were picked up by police in the southern Austrian city of Graz – they were in possession of full suitcases and intended to go to Syria.
The one of the girls is Muslim and the other, a recent convert to Islam – one of the mothers provided a lead and the police picked them up at the home of a friend in Graz.
It seems the two girls wanted to fly to Turkey and then cross the border into Syria – it may be recalled that in May two other Austrian girls of Bosnian origin had reportedly left to "fight for Islam" in Syria.
As per information with the ministry, 142 Austrians, including 12 women, were thought to be in Syria and, already, ten suspected would-be jihadis have been arrested in Austria since mid-August.
