Punk rocker turned ISIS poster girl Sally Jones will stay holed up in the crumbling Islamic caliphate until she dies, acccording to a fellow jihadi bride. The 50-year-old terror recruiter, nicknamed the "White Widow", was thought to be desperate to return to the UK as Iraqi forces close in on ISIS 's last major strongholds. But a friend in Syria said mom-of-two Jones will stay with ISIS "until she dies" and that she "will never leave the caliphate."

Speaking from Raqqa fellow jihadi bride Aisha said Jones had recently fled the de-facto ISIS capital in Syria for al-Mayadeen further to the east. She said: "I am full of admiration for her. Muslims from the outside are not like us. A convert will catch Islam tightly and not let go. Because she is a Muslim she will come here and never leave. She ran to al-Mayadeen but she told me she would stay until she dies. She doesn't want to go anywhere."

The revelation contradicated reports last week from another jihadi bride who claimed that Jones was keen to return home to her family in leafy Chatham in Kent. Birmingham-born computer hacker Hussain was killed in a drone strike in Syria in August 2015 after setting up ISIS's Cyber Caliphate Division which breached US government military websites.
