ISIS "Jihadi Jack" claims he wants to go back to see his mum

After two years in a Kurdish prison, the Briton-Canadian ISIS suspect Jack Letts, known as Jihadi Jack, said he wants to come home but doubts the UK will move to bring him back.

Axar.az reports citing AlJazeera.

The Oxford-born Letts, who fled to Syria in 2014, talked to ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo from his prison in Syria, where he has been held since being accused by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) for being a member of ISIS He said that he was missing his mum and the home comforts of British life, including pasties and Doctor Who.

“I feel British, I am British. My dad's Canadian, if the UK accepted me I would go back to the UK, it's my home, but I don't think that is going to happen," he said in the interview.

Letts, who holds dual nationality through his Canadian father John Letts and British mother Sally Lane, said he hasn’t spoken with his parents for two years and that he doubts officials from either country are going to help him. His parents are currently facing trial in the UK over claims they funded terrorism by sending their son money. They have denied all allegations, insisting their son went to Syria to help refugees.
