Hussain was killed in a US drone strike in 2015, aged 21, when he ventured out without Jones’ son, who was routinely used as a human shield by the pair. The same year, the then Prime Minister David Cameron said Jones’ husband had planned “barbaric attacks against the West”, including a plot for a terror attack that targeted “high profile public commemorations”. Jones was also said to have been among the plotters who masterminded Isis’ kidnapping of a US army veteran who was beheaded by the terror group. Speaking to the BBC, Azadeh Moaveni, a journalist and author of the book Lipstick Jihad, said Jones’s power lay in helping Isis project the notion it could “get into the very reaches of British society”.
