A South Korean teenager who went missing last month has joined the Islamic State and is presently receiving training, South Korea's spy agency said Tuesday.
The 18-year-old middle school dropout, identified only by his surname Kim, went missing in Turkey on January 10. Speculation had arisen that he had crossed into Syria to join the radical Islamist group. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said in a report to a parliamentary committee that Kim was receiving training at an undisclosed ISIS camp, the Yonhap news agency reported.
