The British woman who fled to Syria and became the leading female recruitment officer for Daesh, has told friends she wants to return home, Sky News has reported.
Former punk rocker, Sally Jones, 45, traveled to the Syrian city of Raqqa, with her son and joined the terror network in 2013.
But according to a woman, calling herself “Aisha,” who also traveled to the Daesh-controlled city, said Jones was eager to return to Britain.
She told Sky News: “She was crying and wants to get back to Britain but ISIS (Daesh) is preventing her because she is now a military wife. She told me she wish to go to her country.”
It is unlikely she will get her wish, the US recently named Jones as a prime target for assassination. And top US Diplomat, Brett McGurk said up to 3,500 foreign fighters in Raqqa would die there.
Jones married Junaid Hussain, Daesh’s chief of digital jihad, but he was killed in a US drone strike in 2015, as he planned terror attacks against the West, Sky News reported.
Apparently Daesh has prevented Jones from leaving, because she is a “military bride,” and has not been able to remarry, because the militants prefer younger women.
Meanwhile Jones’ son, now 12-years-old, is believed to have been forced to execute prisoners, video footage was released, that appeared to show him pointing a gun to the back of a prisoner’s head and shooting.

Israeli forces detonate house of detainee Abu Al-Rab near Jenin
- Abu Al-Rab family received a demolition notice in January
LONDON: Israeli forces detonated a house on Wednesday in the Palestinian town of Qabatiya, located south of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.
The house belonged to the detainee Ahmed Abu Al-Rab in Qabatiya, according to Wafa news agency.
Israeli forces used explosives to demolish the house, causing damage to several neighboring homes and forcing multiple families to evacuate their residences in the area before the detonation.
The Abu Al-Rab family received a demolition notice in January. Overnight, Israeli forces raided several houses in Qabatiya, arresting multiple individuals before carrying out the demolition, the Wafa added.
It has now been almost a year since Israel launched a military campaign in the Jenin Governorate in retaliation for the bombing of empty buses in Tel Aviv, allegedly carried out by a Palestinian from the area last February. The campaign resulted in the deaths of over 60 Palestinians and the demolition of more than 600 houses, displacing 22,000 people.
