Was Sally Jones’s ‘human shield’ son, 12, killed in drone strike that wiped out mum?
WHITE Widow Sally Jones's 12-year-old son Jojo is feared to have been killed in the drone strike that wiped out his mum.
Jones - who left her home in Chatham, Kent, with son Jojo in 2013 to join ISIS - regularly used him as a human shield.
Jojo is believed to have been brainwashed by ISIS - undergoing lessons in radical Islam and firearms and martial arts training.
Last year his heartbroken grandparents identified a boy who featured in an ISIS execution video as him.

Standing behind a row of kneeling prisoners in orange boiler suits, the boy brandished a pistol moments before the men were murdered.
It was a world away from his Kent childhood, with relatives describing him as a gentle animal-loving lad. One said: “He would never even tread on an ant."
A friend of his dad added: "Sally would send him texts that were disgusting. She would threaten to take JoJo to Islamic rallies and leave him there. It was awful."
But the US government could still face a backlash for killing Jojo if his death is confirmed.
“That would be the first woman I know of who’s been specifically targeted in this way.”
The drone strike came as coalition forces tightened the squeeze on ISIS positions in Raqqa.
She met computer hacker Hussain, 21, from Birmingham, in Syria. Mum-of-two Jones, a former punk singer who lived on benefits, was put in charge of the female wing of an ISIS battalion of foreign fighters.
It was founded by Hussain to attack Europe and America. She was also a key recruiter of British ISIS wannabes. It is thought she is the sixth Briton killed in Syria by a drone.
THE KENT JIHADIST Who was Sally Jones? The former single mum from Kent who turned into 'Mrs Terror'?
Punk who joined ISIS
SALLY Jones left her Chatham council house for the killing fields of Syria to be a jihadi bride — taking eight-year-old Jojo with her but leaving behind an older son.
Once in Raqqa, the former punk singer wed Junaid Hussain, who she had met online, and took the name Umm Hussein al-Britani.
Back home her distraught family watched as she posted antiSemitic hate messages under a photograph of herself wearing a niqab and waving an AK-47.
In one propaganda post, she posed as a nun with a gun and spoke of her wish to behead Christians with a “nice blunt knife.”
Hussain was killed by a US army drone in Raqqa in 2015 — and Jones became known as the White Widow.
She also became a prolific recruiter for ISIS and her name was put on a US kill list.
But it did not stop her trying to encourage terror attacks in the West. In one 2016 post she sent a message saying: “Have a nice summer. I wouldn’t go into central London through June or July. Well, to be honest, I wouldn’t go there at all by Tube.”
Her last appearance on social media was in September 2016.
She said: “I’ll never marry again. I’ll remain loyal to my husband until my last breath.”
