Husbands of two of the three sisters who took their nine children, aged three to 15, and fled to join IS terrorists in Syria last week, claim police encouraged the women to contact their radicalised brother who is believed to be fighting in Syria. Mohammed Shoaib (top) and Akhtar Iqbal (right) believe their wives Sugra Dawood (right) and Khadija Dawood (left) were the victims of the ‘reckless disregard’ of the police. But Number 10 insisted it is ‘wrong and dangerous to play the blame-game’.
