Missing UK family 'safe with Islamic State'

A UK family of 12 who went missing have joined so-called Islamic State and are "safer than ever", according to a statement said to be on their behalf.

The statement, purportedly sent by a member of IS, said it was "outrageous" to suggest the family had been kidnapped and forced to join the group.

The BBC has not been able to verify if the statement is genuine.
