‘White Widow’ Sally Jones and her son, 12, were killed in ‘revenge’ air strike days after Manchester attack, Jihadi John’s ‘best pal’ claims
WHITE Widow Sally Jones was killed along with her son three days after the Manchester Arena attack, a jailed friend of Jihadi John claims.
A member of the terror cell made up of British Muslims, known as The Beatles, said the ISIS bride was killed along with son JoJo Dixon, 12, in an airstrike.
Jones, 48, known as 'Mrs Terror' and the 'White Widow', was the most-wanted female terrorist in the world when she was reportedly targeted by an Allied drone strike in June last year.
There has been rumours that while her son perished in the attack, she survived and has been fighting with ISIS in Syria.
But Jihadi "Beatle" Alexanda Kotey, told ITV that Jones and her son were killed during bormbardment near his home shortly after a suicide bomber murdered 22 concert goers at the Manchester Arena at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.
He said: “"There was a building that was shelled, she lived in the building. It was shelled following the incident in Manchester, which I believe was a retaliation."
"There were families in the building, it was a government building. (Forty) people were dead as a result… including Sally Jones and her son”.
Yesterday Kotey admitted his involvement in the British terror plots.
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.”
Using the Islamic name Sakinah Hussain, Jones also led a propaganda drive to lure young supporters to join them.
She is believed to have convinced scores of would-be European jihadis to join the self-declared caliphate through her influential recruitment web called the “Raqqa 12”.
Two of her most committed recruits were Manchester "Terror Twins" Salma and Zahra Halane.
