How Brit ISIS fanatic Sally Jones went from a punk-rock loving single mum in Kent to masterminding attacks on the West from her terror lair in Syria
The jihadi bride is top of the CIA's assassination list after her bloodthirsty rise through the ranks of ISIS
SALLY Jones once flogged L'Oreal perfume whilst living off benefits in her Kent flat.
Today, she finds herself top of the CIA's assassination list after her bloodthirsty rise through the ranks of ISIS.
Along the way she earned herself a reputation for callous brutality as she masterminded several bloody attacks on three different continents.
But how did a 49-year-old British housewife rise to become a commander of the world's most-feared terror group?
Jones today would not answer to her birth name, instead going by her jihadi moniker Sakinah Hussain.

She had taken the nom de guerre from the computer of her state-paid Chatham flat.
From there, Jones spent her time discussing bizarre conspiracy theories online - from black magic to witchcraft.
The online pitter patter eventually led her to meet and form an online dalliance with jihadi computer hacker Junaid Hussain.
Hussain, a Brit of Pakistani heritage, was part of a jihadi hacking group called TeaMpOisoN thought to have leaked the names of hundreds of American military personnel.
Yet despite the bizarre circumstances their romance developed to such an extent that former punk rocker Jones snuck into Syria in 2013 to join 20-year-old Hussain.
Together they became known as "Mr and Mrs Terror".
Perhaps most sickeningly, she also took young son Jojo, thought to be 12, who she slapped with the name Hamza.
Her 19-year-old second son stayed behind in the UK.
Jones's bloodythirsty time in the de facto ISIS capital of Raqqa was only stunted by the assassination of Hussain in 2015.
He was blown up by an American drone on one of the few occasions he travelled without Jojo as a human shield.
Now the young boy is an ever-present at the side of his mother - who remains confident the Americans or RAF will not risk taking flak for knowingly killing a child in their effort to get her.
In a fiery riposte to the strikes she wrote: "Jones also wrote: "U can't just sit there with ur tea & scones ordering RAF drone strikes on UK brothers with no comeback from the Islamic state."
Yet the reasons for her rise to the top of the CIA's hitlist are compelling.
how Langley now considers her a "high priority" hit as details emerge of Jones's extensive ISIS recruitment work.
She is believed to have enticed scores of would-be European jihadis to join the self-declared caliphate through her influential recruitment network called the "Raqqa 12".
It targets vulnerable young Muslim men in Europe and is thought to have successfully recruited scores of wannabe jihadis to Syria.
Her and Hussain are thought to have been behind at least a dozen murderous attacks both in the Middle East and abroad.
One foiled plot is alleged to have seen her consider the opportunity to kill the Queen during 2015's VJ Day celebrations in London.
Separately, she published more than 1,300 names of US personnel - many of whom were serving at UK air bases - that her husband had hacked.
All the while she appeared in haunting videos, waving a Kalashnikov as she led a group of women in chanting slogans in Arabic.
And in her most unforgivable crime, she allowed her young son to take part in the brutal execution of Kurdish fighters.
The British youngster stood alongside several other boys, forced to unload bullets from a revolver into the back of their victims' head at point-blank range.
Jones hopes that while Jojo remains young and by her side, she will be immune from the drones hunting her down.
