Ex-jihadi handed job and a flat

-

A JIHADI returned from fighting on the frontline in Syria to take up a job as a food delivery driver in London.

The only sanction the 3 -year-old faced was the cancellati­on of his British passport, ensuring he can now never leave.

Despite once being a right-hand man of hate preacher Anjem Choudary he was not put on trial.

Instead the man, who can be identified only by his pseudonym Abu Rayah, was given a council flat in east London.

He took up a job working as a driver for a restaurant, delivering takeaways to the homes of customers via food app Just Eat.

Rayah, who once worked for the NHS, travelled to Turkey in February 201 under the guise of a two-week family holiday.

From there, he entered Syria for up to four months to engage in terrorism-related activity, probably including warfare.
