Jihadi bride BLOCKED from returning to Britain on national security grounds after Home Secretary overrules govt lawyers

SUELLA Braverman has overruled government lawyers to block a Jihadi bride’s bid to return to Britain, The Sun can reveal. 

Government lawyers say the anonymous mum who fled to fight with ISIS has a case to come back with a sickly kid.

But the Home Secretary has blocked it on national security grounds – saying only terror tots can return. 

There’s a legal standoff with the ISIS convert who has been in Syrian camp since the fall of Raqqa in 2017 during secret court hearings.

The Sun is gagged from giving any further details due to reporting restrictions.

Last night the Foreign Office said: “Each request for consular assistance from Syria is considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all relevant circumstances, including, but not limited to, national security.”

There are fears a “flood” of radicalised former ISIS members would overwhelm already stretched terror budgets if the precedent was set to allow the anon Brit back.

A source said: “There is a clear and present danger from repatriating Islamic State terrorists and the group’s members. 

“Our resources are stretched and we must focus on the threat we already have in our midst.”

But her children could still be extracted.

Parliament’s intelligence committee estimated more than 850 Brits of “national security concern are thought to have travelled to Syria, Iraq and the region” during the so-called caliphate’s uprising.

They were joined by 6,000 Europeans on the terror front line.

The UK’s top security watchdog warned in 2017 that British children who grew up with their jihadi parents in Iraq and Syria pose a “serious challenge” to the Government if they return to the UK.

Since 2019, a small number of orphaned or abandoned IS kids with links to the UK have been extracted by special forces.

To squash fears the children will grow up as terrorists and avenge the UK in future attacks, Government lawyers made them ‘wards of the court’ – meaning the High Court has ‘supreme legal guardianship’ over them.

Save the Children estimated as many as 60 British kids were trapped in Northern Syria when ISIS collapsed.

And the security services have warned MPs of a new wave of next generation Brit killer kids who grew up under ISIS or in the camps will grow up as brain-washed jihadi recruiters and fighters.
