A 27-year-old Briton alleged to be a jihadist bride who gave birth to her son under ISIS in Syria has come back to the UK. She was arrested at London Heathrow Airport under terrorism laws, while her son who is under the age of two and whose nationality is unclear, has been taken into care. She was released on bail while police investigations continue.

It is said that the authorities are expecting and employing measures to tackle a potential influx of ISIS brides and their children after the terrorist group was vanquished in its Iraqi and Syrian strongholds in 2017.
