Britain to strip IS teen of citizenship

LONDON - Britain will strip citizenship from a UK teenager who joined the Islamic State group in Syria but now wants to return home with her newborn baby, a lawyer for her family said on Tuesday.

Shamima Begum's fate has stirred controversy since she and two friends fled London to join the terror network four years ago when she was aged just 15.

The case points to a dilemma facing many European countries, divided over whether to allow extremists and IS sympathizers home to face prosecution or barring them over security concerns as the so-called "caliphate" crumbles.
