A Labour councillor's son who was detained in Turkey on suspicion of trying to enter Syria illegally is being flown back to the UK, it has been claimed.
Waheed Ahmed, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, and eight of his relatives were stopped by Turkish authorities as they allegedly tried to cross the border into the war-torn country on April 1.
Labour's shadow home secretary has called for more to be done to prevent Brits travelling to Syria after a "very disturbing" series of cases in recent months.
Yvette Cooper said "the police can't do it all" and called for an overhaul of the Prevent programme - which aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
She added that police should be given new powers "so that anyone returning from trying to join ISIL can be required to undertake the Channel de-radicalisation programme".
After the arrest of nine Britons in Turkey, Cooper said: "The police are rightly investigating this latest case and it is particularly disturbing that children are involved. Much more needs to be done by everyone to combat extremism and radicalisation.”
