Jihadi Jack who fled UK ‘misses doughnuts’

- By JEMMA CREW

The man nicknamed Jihadi Jack who fled Oxford to “search for truth” in Syria has said he misses Krispy Kreme doughnuts and kebabs.

Jack Letts converted to Islam and travelled to Syria two years ago, but he said he disagrees with so-called Islamic State (IS) and is not “currently” fighting for them.

The 20-year-old revealed he does not regret the move and has no plans to return to England, in a television news interview. Letts said: “I searched for the people of truth, and I found a lot of them here. I found people that act on what they learn and teach, and benefited a lot from them.”

He said he does not think he would be welcome if he returned to Britain, but misses the “small things” – specifical­ly doughnuts and kebabs.
