Jihadists returning to UK, warns Aleppo MP

Jihadists who were in the Syrian town of Douma are heading back to the UK, Syrian MP Fares Shehabi, has warned.

β€œThere are 280 Brits on their way from Douma now to Europe, they're going back to England,” the Aleppo MP told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur.

β€œWhen they were getting on the buses, we collected the information of 280 British passports among the jihadis with the Nusra Front or Faylaq al-Rahman - which used to be ISIS - they got on the bus and they went to Northern Syria,” Mr Shehabi added.

Faylaq al-Rahman has never publicly had any link with IS (ISIS) and has actually fought against it.
