London - MENA
Five teenage girls who had shown an interest in going to Syria have been barred from traveling abroad by a judge at London's High Court, the BBC reported on Friday.
The girls - two aged 15 and three aged 16 - were made wards of court, removing their passports and banning them from leaving England and Wales.
It comes after Tower Hamlets local authority, in London, raised concerns.
Last month, three girls from an east London school travelled to Syria, where it is feared they joined Daesh.
