White Widow ‘killed in US drone strike’

BRITISH IS recruiter SallyAnne Jones, dubbed the White Widow, has been killed in a US drone strike, it has been reported.

Jones was apparently killed close to the border between Syria and Iraq by a US Air Force strike in June.

She and her husband Junaid Hussain went to Syria in 2013 to join IS.

He was killed by a US drone in 2015 and had allegedly been planning “barbaric attacks against the West”, including terror plots targeting “high profile public commemorations” this summer.

News of her death was reportedly not made public amid fears that her 12-yearold son Jojo may also have been killed.

Jones, who was previously a member of an all-girl punk rock group, left her home in Chatham, Kent, after converting to Islam.

She used her Twitter account to recruit women and provided practical advice on how to travel to Syria.

Born in Greenwich, London, she encouraged individuals to carry out attacks in Britain, offering guidance on how to construct home-made bombs.

She also shared pictures of herself posing with weapons and posted messages in support of IS.
