Police unable to confirm British teen was suicide bomber

The police have been made aware of media reports with regard to the death of a British National in Iraq.

The identity of the person who has reportedly died has not been confirmed at this time and we are unable to comment further.

We are aware that large numbers of British nationals are travelling to the Middle East for a variety of reasons and we understand that some of those travelling have resided in West Yorkshire. We continue to support families who have loved ones that are believed to have travelled and the local communities who understandably may also have concerns.
