Teen Norwegian girls missing since leaving for Syria

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said she's concerned about two teenage girls who haven't been seen since they left Norway last week for Syria. The 16- and 19-year-old sisters, whose names weren't reported, sent their father an email last week explaining they were going to Syria to work in a refugee camp. The girls' father traveled to Turkey hoping to stop them before they crossed the border into Syria, Norway's NRK reported. "In my opinion this a matter of deep concern, both the danger these sisters subject themselves to, and the contacts that they make in Syria," Solberg said. "Syria is not a place to be for two girls at the age of 16 and 19, no matter how idealistic they are. I completely understand that the parents are worried." Solberg said there is a great risk of terror for people when they return home after participating in a war such as Syria's. The girls may make extremist contacts while in Syria, she said.
