Brit ISIS jihadis killed in drone strikes… and who’s left in the firing line
Sally Jones' death - confirmed last night - narrows the list of notorious British jihadis known to be fighting for ISIS.
THREE British jihadis have moved to the top of US and UK kill lists after the death of recruiter Sally Jones in a drone strike.
Her death, confirmed last night, brings the total number of high profile British ISIS militants known to have died in Syria and Iraq to six.
But the status of several other known killers is still unclear as Western and local forces continue tightening the noose around ISIS's so-called caliphate.
Sally Jones - and possibly her son - was killed in June, has joined her computer hacker husband Junaid Hussain in death.
Hussain, from Birmingham, died in August 2015, just as the extent of his involvement in planning terror plots came to light.
A court in the US heard that Hussain had used social media messages to convince people to become involved in terror plots.
One such plan was described as “one of the most significant plots by ISIS to perform a homeland attack”.
Executioner Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John, was also killed in a US drone strike in November 2015.
So too was Cardiff-born jihadi Reyaad Khan and Aberdeen extremist Ruhul Amin. Both were obliterated in the same RAF drone hit in November 2015.
Finally, Abu Zakariya al-Britani - born Ronald Fiddler - died carrying out a suicide bombming in Mosul in February of this year.
- Although hundreds of Brits are believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight for ISIS, three remain at the top of UK and US kill lists. So who are they?
Siddhartha Dhar
Born in London, 33-year-old Siddhartha Dhar travelled to Syria in 2014 shortly after being released on bail while under investigation for supporting terrorism.
He fled to Paris, then announced his reappearance in the Middle East by posting a photo of him clutching an assault rifle in one hand and a baby in another.
His role in the group's brutal torture and killings has earned him the nickname 'Jihadi Sid'.
Just last week he was also considered a key figure in the enslavement and sexual torture of thousands of Yazidi women.
His current whereabouts are unknown, though it also remains a possibility he has been killed.
Omar Hussain
Omar Hussain, a former Morrison's security guard, found infamy for his pathetic rants about food, chocolates and missing his mum's cooking.
Originally from High Wycombe, the 30-year-old is thought to have been a recruiter for ISIS and published how-to guides describing how recruits could reach ISIS territory.
Just a year ago, the crackpot - who now calls himself Abu Saeed al-Britani - said he was pining for his mum’s food.
Asked what he missed from the UK said: "Mainly food. And my mum's food of course Well her speciality was Asian dishes."
The home-grown terrorist also posted a video calling for then PM David Cameron to send in British ground troops so they could be slaughtered in Syria and Iraq.
It was recently reported he may have been killed after falling silent on social media for an unusually long period of time. However, there has been no confirmation of this.
It also emerged this week that he was a registered sex offender in Britain - ironically, a crime for which he would hang if committed under Sharia law.
Raymond Matimba
Little is known about 28-year-old Raymond Matimba, who hit the headlines only recently after his links to the Manchester Arena bombing emerged.
What we do know is he was a member of the so-called "Beatles", a gang of Brit jihadis that also included Mohammed Emwazi, Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan.
Matimba was known to be an accurate sniper and is believed to have trained would-be jihadis in marksmanship.
But his most deadly role could have been in the radicalisation of Manchester bomber Salman Abedi.
It has been claimed the two were in contact before the attack, attended the same college and met at a South Manchester mosque before heading to the Middle East.
Raymond Matimba's family say they have not heard from him since 2016, but his death has never been confirmed.
