A SUSPECTED jihadi bride has become the first to return to the UK with a baby born under ISIS in Syria, it was reported.

The unnamed 27-year-old was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London after arriving back in the country with her child.

The terror suspect landed on a flight from Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa nine days ago, in an apparent attempt to cover her tracks, The Sunday Times reports.

But cops from Scotland Yard's counter-terror squad were waiting for her when she landed.

Her toddler son, whose nationality is unclear, has been taken into care.

She was reportedly released on bail while police inquiries continue.

Authorities have warned of a possible influx of returning extremists after the terror group’s self-styled “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria was largely destroyed last year.

Aqsa Mahmood, 22, a suspected ISIS recruiter from Glasgow, was stripped of her British citizenship to prevent her returning.

And a similar order has been made against another unnamed Brit woman who fled Syria at the end of 2016 when her Brit jihadi husband died in battle.

The woman and her two kids who she gave birth to in the war zone are all stranded in Turkey, as the toddlers have no nationality.
