IS schoolgirl compares Manchester Arena bomb to military strikes in Syria

A teenage girl who fled Britain to join Islamic State has compared the Manchester Arena bombing to military assaults on Syria.

In an interview with the BBC, Shamima Begum, now 19, said the deaths of 22 innocent people in the terrorist attack on an Ariana Grande concert in 2017 were akin to the "women and children" being bombed in IS territory in Baghuz.
