The son of the radical cleric Abu Hamza has been stripped of his UK passport after he travelled to Syria to fight against Bashar al-Assad’s forces, according to media reports.
According to The Telegraph, Sufiyan Mustafa, 22, whose father is in jail in the US after being convicted of a series of terrorism charges, told the Arabic newspaper al-Quds of his surprise at his passport being revoked.
Mustafa is understood to be fighting alongside rebel units after fleeing Britain in 2013 following the extradition of his father to America to stand trial. He denies fighting with Islamic State or with forces loyal to al-Qaida, although it is unclear for which rebel group Mustafa is fighting.
