The family from Didsbury, Manchester left the UK in 2014 and thought they were on a family holiday.

According to the family, a relative told them they were going on holiday to Turkey but from there they "ended up in Syria".

Both daughters had children while they were living within the caliphate.

Aslam told Channel 4: “I don’t regret anything because we came on holiday, which then turned into this.

“They are not brave people they are very soft people. I don’t think they would be joining something like ISIS.”

“The police have interviewed me many times. They asked me questions about them but they never said they were in Syria.

“I thought she had gone to Saudi Arabia as all the time Safiya was talking about it. I thought she went there.”
