Islamic State conflict: Luton family in Syria urged to 'come home'

A relative of a family of 12 from Luton who are believed to have joined militants known as Islamic State in Syria has urged them to return home.

Abdul Latif, who lives in Bangladesh and whose brother and son are among the group, said his family had a "great life" in the UK and rejected the idea that they were better off in Syria.

He told the BBC that he believed they may have been radicalised by one of the younger women.
