Girl Who Fled London To Join Islamic State In Syria Feared Dead
//A schoolgirl who left the UK to join Islamic State in Syria is feared to have been killed in an airstrike in the country.
Kadiza Sultana was one of three teenage girls who fled east London and entered Syria via Turkey last year.
Her family say they were hoping to get her across the border and into Turkey before she died, after she became disillusioned with life in Syria.//

Will this deter others with similarly idealistic notions?

No sympathy from me. It probably won't deter others though.
I noticed on the news that the family's solicitor was speaking. I recall that there was talk of the family taking legal action against someone (not sure if the airline or police or some other body) . does anyone know what's happening there?

I agree with you Sandy to a point, these girls knew the direction of IS, they were old enough to know the IS Scum does not have any thoughts who they killed, men . women, children , baby's, some may think I'm heartless, far from it, I cheer when I hear, people associated with this SCUM IS is killed, in my mind if they capture people that's linked to IS, get rid, they kill no more.
Sadly others will not be deterred, because grooming of any nature will present an idealised picture which is a very long way from reality.
As usual, this sort of thread polarises opinion between those who rejoice in the death of a naiive schoolgirl, and those who take the approach that any death is a tragedy, and nothing to gloat about.

TWR - //I don't gloat about someone's death, if fact I feel for them, London, Paris, Madrid, & many others that's lost lives through this evil regime Andy, I have no remorse for the likes of these girls, they must have thought evil to go out to join this scum regime, they will rejoice no more. //
I have never been able to connect any sort of relief / pleasure / gloating / satisfaction - call it what you will, over one death because of any tenuous connection with any other death(s).
The wrongness of innocent victims killed by terrorism does not mitigate the death of a deluded schoolgirl, or others in her position.
As to them 'thinking evil' - human nature dictates that no-one ever thinks 'I will do this, it's evil ... ' - that is simply not the way minds work.
Deluded, yes, naïve, definitely, foolish, obviously - but none of these things are crimes against humanity that justify any moral high ground being occupied by a death like this.
