ISIS Poster Girl Sally Jones Wants To Go Back To UK

On the day U.S.-backed forces made a major breakthrough in the battle for Islamic State group's (ISIS) operation capital Raqqa, reports said the terror group’s poster girl Sally Jones, also known as Mrs. Terror, is desperate to return to the U.K.

This was revealed by the wife of a former ISIS militant who is now living in a refugee camp in Syria, in an interview to Sky News.

The woman, known as Aisha, said of Jones: “She was crying and wants to get back to Britain. She told me she wish [sic] to go to her country. ”

Aisha said Umma Hussain al Britani, the name adopted by Jones, was distraught and crying as her plea had been denied by ISIS leaders on the basis she considered a military wife.

Jones is originally from from Chatham, Kent, became the leading female recruitment officer for ISIS after moving to Raqqa and marrying a now-dead jihadist in 2004. She is now the most wanted woman in the world after climbing to the top of the CIA assassination list, the Sun reported.

Jones, 47, has remained at large since her husband, ISIS recruit Junaid Hussain, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2015. The couple are thought to have been behind at least a dozen murderous attacks both in the Middle East and abroad.

On September 28, 2015, the United Nations sanctioned Jones as an agent operating on behalf of a terrorist organization, the Mirror reported.

Jones is believed to have enticed scores of would-be European jihadis to join the self-declared caliphate through her influential recruitment network called the "Raqqa 12,” the Sun reported. Jones has been attributed with the recruitment and training of young girls in Syria.

The Express quoted a counter extremism website as saying Jones’s activity online was in line with her role as leader of the secret “Anwar al-Awlaki” battalion's female wing.

“In this role, Jones is responsible for training all European female recruits, or ‘muhajirat’, in the use of weapons and tactics. These muhajirat are then trained and instructed to carry out suicide missions in the West, according to leaked ISIS documents,” the report cited.

It was reported her British-born son, 12, was used as a child fighter and encouraged to execute soldiers.

A video released last year by the terror cell showed a British-born executioner named Abu Abdullah al-Britani - believed to be Jones' son Jojo - shooting Kurdish prisoners.

She is also believed to be using Jojo as a human shield, and never travels without him to ward assassination bids from the air, with the U.S. fearing a huge backlash if it killed her young boy, the Sun reported.

Now with the U.S.-backed forces, which launched an offensive to take Raqqa on June 6, almost at the gate of the ISIS bastion, Jones may be finding the walls closing around her, triggering the reported desperate desire to return home.

But a return to the UK wouldn’t exactly be a rosy proposition for her, where a likely lifetime prison sentence awaits her, the Express reported.
