One
of the twin schoolgirls who followed their jihadi brother from
Manchester to Syria has revealed she still wants to be a doctor - but
for Isis.
The
16-year-old has tweeted a slew of fanatical messages, reportedly
including: 'I will become a doctor for Isis not for these pagans'.
Salma
and Zahra Halane, who have 28 GCSEs between them fled Chorlton, Greater
Manchester, a month ago and are now believed to be based in Raqqa,
Syria - an Isis stronghold.
Aims: Salma and Zahra Halane, who have 28 GCSEs between them, have vowed to use their skills for Isis
But
despite widespread efforts to bring them back, social media updates
suggest the pair are training to use grenades Kalashnikov rifles.
On
a Twitter account believed to be controlled by either Salma or Zahra,
messages
mock media reports of their stellar school records, according
to The Sun.
'Training to be doctors to Training to be killers... I will become a doctor for Isis not for these pagans', she tweets.
It
comes just days after it emerged Salma and Zahra Halane have allegedly
married Isis fighters since relocating to Raqqa, Syria.
An expert in extremism has checked the social media accounts and they are thought to be genuine.

Maher, an expert on radicalisation, told Newsnight last week: 'These
women are saying they have chosen to go because they want to support
fighters.

The sisters were hard-working students who hoped to train as doctors.
The
pair achieved 28 GCSEs between them, but last month they left their
parents’ home in the middle of the night and caught a flight to Turkey,
before crossing the border.
Police
said the pair are thought to have followed their elder brother, who
ditched his own ‘excellent’ academic career to join the ISIS terror
group around a year ago.
Friends
said the twins had appeared to be typical teenagers, pouting for
selfies and shopping at Primark – but they are now feared to be training
for battle.

them to come home. Their father has flown out to Syria in a bid to find
them but he has so far been unsuccessful
Last
month a rebel fighter boasted that he was teaching girls as young as 16
how to fight. Yilmaz, a Dutch national who has been in Syria for two
years said: ‘It’s extremely easy to get here. People go on holiday ...
they end up in Syria.’
The twins’ parents raised the alarm after finding the girls’ beds empty and their passports and clothes missing.
A
former neighbour said the couple had been ‘quite strict’, and did not
allow the girls to ‘mix with other children on the street’.
