British terrorist secretly married Islamic State bride with one of two sons killed in air strike

Terrorist Aseel Muthana secretly married runaway British ISIS bride Nasra Abukar and had two sons – but one was killed in an air strike.

Somalia-born Abukar was 18 when she fled her home in Lewisham, South London, for Syria.

The attack which killed son Faris also left Aseel with severe head wounds.

Abukar is now said to be with their other son – Talha, three – at a detention camp in north- east Syria.

Her UK passport was confiscated and she is in a similar predicament to ISIS bride Shamima Begum, who is trying to return to the UK.

Aseel told the Mirror he last saw Nasra when ISIS was driven out of Bargouz.

He said: “We were separated at that point and she was taken to a camp. I wrote to her and I believe the letter was passed on but I have never received a reply. My hope is that if I get jailed in the UK, her family might visit me.”

Close to 850 British extremists have fought for jihadist groups in Syria over the past decade.

ISIS attracted the most, paying £300 a month.

Around 400 Brits have returned – either to jail, under the watch of MI5 or simply by slipping back into society.

Some 350 are likely to have been killed or have fled to neighbouring countries.

The remaining 100, including many women with children of ISIS fighters, are in detention camps or, like Aseel, in Syrian jails.

Despite being beaten militarily, ISIS is hugely powerful and intelligence agencies fear it has a £900million war chest controlled in dodgy accounts in Turkey and the surrounding region.

Money is transferred across Asia and Africa via an ancient system based on trust between brokers. At its height, ISIS had £2billion.

Piles of money – amassed through theft, kidnappings and extortion – were found hidden in the desert.
