Jihadi Junior smuggled to Sweden in 2,000-mile secret trip for operation

THE British toddler dubbed Jihadi Junior after appearing in sick ISIS videos has been smuggled from Syria to Sweden for an operation.

Isa Dare, four — whose face is known worldwide — was spirited out the terrorists’ Raqqa stronghold with his London-born Jihadi bride mum Grace.

It is possible the pair went through nine countries and were not challenged on the 2,000-mile trip or in hospital.

And it is probable the young boy was very ill because ISIS has its own medics.

He was last paraded in front of the cameras in February when he seemingly pushed a button on a detonator to explode a car with four prisoners inside.

Sources believe he has been ill for a few months and had surgery weeks ago.

One said his mum chose Sweden because she married a Swede, Abu Bakr, after joining the terrorists.

He has since died fighting.

One route to get to Sweden would have involved the pair travelling through Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany and Denmark.

A source told The Sun: “Isa had to have an operation weeks ago.

“He and his mother were in Sweden after she left Syria but no one knows how she managed to get out.

“She had a Swedish husband with ISIS.

“He is the connection to the country.

“She may have used another identity to get there but Isa is very recognisable so it was quite a feat.

“She was not detained or stopped which is incredible given their notoriety.”

Her son was first featured in a video in January wearing military gear and an ISIS bandana.

Last July his mum, who now calls herself Khadija, posted a picture of the little lad clutching a rifle.

He was born to her and dad Deniz Yoncaci in May, 2011, but the couple had already split up.

His mum fled Lewisham, South East London with him to Syria in 2012, telling Deniz she was going to Egypt to study.

She married Bakr there and they had a child.

In a 2013 video filmed in Aleppo, the couple shoot an AK47 rifle and a pistol.

She said she missed cake and junk food while fighting Jihad and claimed: “I’m not oppressed . . . Islam has made me free.”

Tot Isa toddles around her in the film as she takes a weapon to the shops.

Bakr died in 2014, leaving her a widow with two young children.

The source added: “Her whereabouts are unknown but, as far as anyone knows, Sweden was the last place she has visited.

“I don’t think she’ll return to Britain because she’s so afraid of getting caught.”

The Sun has passed the information to the authorities.
