Ex partner of punk rock jihadi bride Sally Jones ‘believes ISIS child executioner seen in murder video IS his son’
The distressed dad says his ‘normal boy’ has been groomed into a terror assassin
THE father of jihadi bride Sally Jones’ son has spoken of his disgust at seeing the lad apparently slaughtering a man in an ISIS propaganda video.
The Mail Online spoke to the dad, who has not seen his son JoJo for three years, who says twisted Jones has “brainwashed” his “normal boy”.
And the tormented parent believes that the blue-eyed child, named Abu Abdullah al-Britani, pictured executing a Kurdish soldier with a handgun could be his son.
Warped mother-of-two Jones, 47, fled to Syria with JoJo in 2013 where she and the child converted to Islam and joined depraved death cult ISIS.
The British man, who does not want to be named, talked to the Mail about his memories of JoJo.
He said: “He was brilliant, just a normal boy – always chasing bugs, going down the park.
“I have had to block it out. It’s been hard, we just have to carry on. It’s disgusting he’s been brainwashed.”
Yesterday is was reported that the British child assassin who featured in the latest ISIS propaganda is the son of jihadi bride Jones.
The terror group released sickening footage this week which showed five children, including one blue-eyed boy, slaughtering a group of Kurdish prisoners.
The warped mother-of-two, from Chatham, Kent, married a fellow Brit Jihadi Junaid Hussain, 20 , who was killed in a US drone strike last year.
While fighting for the death cult, Hussain changed his name to al-Britani the same surname the young boy was credited with in the horrifying video.
Last year it was revealed that the child’s monster mother was grooming British teenage girls in an attempt to lure them to Syria.
Former punk guitarist Jones, who now uses the Islamic name Sakinah Hussain, offered to pay expenses for young girls willing to travel to the Middle East to become jihadi brides.
The latest ISIS video has shocked the civilised world and shows youths wielding handguns and murdering the men in front of them.
The lads are dressed in camouflage gear and black gloves but with their faces clearly on display.
The blue-eyed child, identified as Abu Abdullah al-Britani, can be seen staring ahead before pulling out a pistol, raising it in the air and aiming it at the hostage’s head.
Included with the British child are kids believed to be of Egyptian, Kurdish, Tunisian and Uzbek background.
The inclusion of children from many backgrounds is a common theme in ISIS propaganda, as the group likes to point out its international presence in an apparent attempt to gain legitimacy.
ISIS has encouraged the training of “Cubs of the Caliphate” since it began its rise in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
It’s understood children as young as ten are put through rigorous military training and indoctrination.
Propaganda videos depicting the training show the children learning how to take hostages, operate as snipers and engage in ambushes.
One particularly horrific video released in July last year depicted children executing 25 Syrian soldiers.
While the deplorable act of using child soldiers is hardly a new concept in the ISIS ranks, it’s believed this may be the first time a child from a Western country has been featured.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond admitted in January that around 1,500 British people have attempted to join ISIS and other terrorist organisations in Syria.
The sick nine-minute video also shows scenes of destruction across ISIS-controlled territory in Raqqa, Syria including dead bodies and war-torn buildings.
The propaganda video by the murderous Islamic extremists shows civilians who purportedly were killed in airstrikes.
The group also threatens world leaders including Barack Obama and Bashar Al -Assad.
At least 50 British children are thought to be living in ISIS-controlled territories and are being brainwashed and trained up to become the next generation of executioners and suicide bombers.
According to an investigation carried by the Quilliam Foundation this year, some 50 children from the UK are “growing up on jihad” and are being encouraged to become ISIS fighters.
Schoolgirl Sharmeena Begum was the first the flee to Syria in 2014, aged 15.
She managed to convince pals Shamima Begum, Amira Abade and Kadiza Sultana to join her.
The girls are thought to be living in Raqqa apart from Kadiza who is believed to be dead after an airstrike earlier this month.
Other children believed to be living alongside IS fighters are Yusra Hussien who left her family home in Bristol in 2014, when she was just 15-years-old.
Samya Dirie, 17, from Stockwell, south London also joined Yusra in travelling to Syria.
Three children aged between one and 11 are among a family of 12 from Luton who are thought to have travelled to Syria in June last year.
Also in the family are five brothers – Mohammed Zayd Hussain, 25, Mohammed Toufique Hussain, 19, Mohammed Abil Kashem Saker, 31, Mohammed Saleh Hussain, 26, and the fifth’s name is not known.
