Fears ISIS kids will return to Britain to ‘commit atrocities’ and unleash terror on UK streets
Top counter terror cop warns 'a child in a war zone would have seen some pretty horrendous things' and as a result all children returning from Syria and Iraq are checked on a case-by-case basis
BRITAIN'S leading counter terrorist police officer has today warned children trained by Islamic State monsters could return to the UK to "commit atrocities".
The head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, Commander Dean Haydon, said that as a result of the growing threat, all those returning to Britain from Iraq and Syria are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Speaking to the Commander Haydon said: "A child in a war zone would have seen some pretty horrendous things.
"Some terror groups are training children to commit atrocities.
"We need to not just understand the risk the mother poses but the risk that any child poses as well. We look at them on a case-by-case basis and they may be arrested."
His chilling warning comes after a suspected jihadi bride became the first to return to the UK with a baby born under ISIS in Syria last month.
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
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.
