    A Glasgow student has been banned from re-entering the UK after she left to join ISIS.

    Aqsa Mahmood was a student at Glasgow Caledonian University when she travelled to Syria. It is believed she made her way to join the jihadi group after being radicalised online.

    The 23-year-old has been stripped of her British passport and placed on a UN watch list, leaving her unable to return home.

    Mahmood is thought to have set up home along with dozens of other British extremists in the Syrian city of Manbij.

    She is among 150 terror suspects to have been stripped of their passports.
