The mother of a young man dubbed “Jihadi Jack” following reports he was the first white Briton to join Isis has said it is ridiculous to suggest that her son is a terrorist.
Sally Letts said her son Jack, 20, from Oxford, was not a member of the terrorist organisation and had gone to Syria to do humanitarian work.
Over the weekend it was reported that her son now used the name Ibrahim Abu Mohammed and was believed to be living in Raqqa, the de facto capital of Islamic State.
She said she had spoken to him on Sunday and confirmed he had left for Syria in 2014. But she said the press had got it entirely wrong.
