The men had allegedly been recruited over the internet by the hardline Sunni Islamic State, which now controls large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria.

"The men next contacted their families a few days later from Baghdad, where they had traveled as part of a religious tour group. Six days later, they broke off from the group and never returned. Alarmed, Mr. Majeed's father filed a missing persons report with the police. In a letter left behind for his family, one of the men asked for forgiveness and said he would next see them in heaven," reported the New York Times in August.Some of the country's top intelligence and security officials have, in recent months, have warned of the possibility of the Islamic State recruiting young volunteers on line.
