US woman deeply regrets joining IS

An American woman captured by Kurdish forces after fleeing the last Islamic State stronghold in Syria, has said she “deeply regrets” joining the terror group and has pleaded to be allowed to return to family in Alabama.

Once one of the IS’ most prominent online agitators who took to social media to call for the blood of Americans to be spilled, Hoda Muthana, 24, claims to have made a “big mistake” when she left the US four years ago, saying she was brainwashed into doing so online.
