ISIS suspect 'Jihadi Jack' caught in Syria: Report

India TV News  

A 21-year-old British man dubbed "Jihadi Jack" has been captured by Kurdish fighters in Syria where he was accused of joining the Islamic State terror group, media reports said today. Jack Letts, who emerged as the first from the UK to join ISIS in Syria, told the London-based television network Al- Araby that he was living in a prison controlled by the Kurds. Letts, a former Cherwell School student from the city of Oxford who converted to Islam as a teenager, reportedly said that he had "no idea" what would happen to him. Earlier this year, Letts labelled former prime minister David Cameron an "evil creature" and warned that the UK will be targeted by the militants as long as it keeps bombing Muslims in Syria.
