April 02, 2015 22:49

Nine British nationals, including women and children, have been detained in Turkey after allegedly trying to enter Syria amid fears the 'family' may have travelled there to join the dreaded Islamic State militant group, triggering a probe by authorities.

The five adults - three men and two women aged between 21 and 47, and four children aged one, three, eight and 11 are thought to be related from the same family based in Rochdale town in northern England.

"They are expected to be returned to the UK in due course," the Greater Manchester police said.
