The video shows them launching several kicks, slaps and punches at the girl in Acton Park, Wrexham,

One of the girls can be heard shouting abuse at the teen, while a male voice off camera can be heard laughing and goading the attackers, saying “go on” and “in the face”.

At one stage the victim is held to the ground by one of the girls while the other kicks her in the face and punches her.

The video ends when the victim manages to get away from the group.

North Wales Police confirmed that they are investigating the incident.

They are also urging people to use “official channels” to report crime, rather than relying on Facebook.

Bangkok bomb police say

Bangkok bomb: Erawan shrine attacker 'is part of network', police say

Bangkok bomb: Erawan shrine attacker 'is part of network', police say

Police have released a sketch of the main suspect, a man in a yellow T-shirt who was filmed by security cameras leaving a backpack at the shrine.

Police later said two other people seen on CCTV were being treated as suspects.

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has described the incident as the worst-ever attack on Thailand.

The Hindu shrine, popular with tourists and Buddhists, reopened on Wednesday.

A reward of one million baht ($28,000; £17,950) has been offered for information leading to his arrest.

Mr Prawut also said that two other men seen in the grainy CCTV footage were being sought. "The person in red and the person in white are also suspects," he said.

The BBC's Steve Evans in Bangkok says the new information implies this may have been an organised international operation, perhaps with a religious motive.

The prime minister urged the main suspect to surrender to the police because he might otherwise "get killed to stop him from talking".

Isis beheads elderly chief of antiquities

ISIS beheads 82-year-old archaeologist in Palmyra, Syrian official says.

SIS militants have beheaded an 82-year-old archaeologist who had been in charge of overseeing the ancient site at Palmyra in Syria, a government official said Tuesday.

Syrian state antiquities chief Maamoun Abdulkarim told Reuters that the family of Khaled Asaad had informed Abdulkarim that the 82-year-old Asaad had been beheaded earlier in the day and his body hanged from a column in the town's main square.

Asaad's death was also reported by the Syrian state news agency SANA and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

ISIS seized Palmyra from Syrian government forces in May. In the days and weeks before the city fell, Syrian officials said they had moved hundreds of statues out of concern that they would be destroyed by ISIS fighters.

Members of the terror group drew international condemnation after it released videos showing members destroying artifacts with hammers and drills in a museum in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and using explosives to wreck other sites.

In March, ISIS members in Iraq razed 3,000-year old Nimrod and bulldozed 2,000-year old Hatra — both UNESCO world heritage sites. At the time, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon described the action as a "war crime."

However, it is not clear what ISIS has done with Palmyra's Roman-era ruins. In June, ISIS blew up two shrines that did not date from Roman times, but were regarded by the militants as pagan and sacrilegious under their strict interpretation of Islam. One of the destroyed tombs belonged to a descendant of the Muslim prophet Muhammad's cousin.

Hackers Finally Post Stolen Ashley Madison Data

Ashley Madison: Hackers follow through on threat to release data from cheating website

Hackers have followed through on a threat to release a huge cache of data online, including customer information, that was stolen a month ago from cheating spouses website Ashley Madison.

The data was posted onto the dark web, meaning it is only accessible using a specialised browser.

But vast lists of hundreds of email addresses, including many linked to corporations and universities, sprouted up on other sites hours after the news broke.

The website's owner, Toronto-based company Avid Life Media, confirmed for the first time on Tuesday that the FBI was investigating last month's data breach.

The company lashed out at the hackers, saying they had appointed themselves as "the moral judge, juror, and executioner, seeing fit to impose a personal notion of virtue on all of society".

"These are illegitimate acts that have real consequences for innocent citizens who are simply going about their daily lives," it said in a statement.

The hackers, who call themselves The Impact Team, leaked snippets of the compromised data in July.

They then threatened to publish names of and salacious details pertaining to as many as 37 million customers unless Ashley Madison and Established Men, another site owned by Avid Life Media, were taken down.
