White Widow Sally Jones’ 12-year-old son ‘DIDN’T die in drone strike and is still fighting for ISIS’
THE schoolboy son of 'White Widow' Sally Jones did not die in the air strike which killed his mother and is feared to be still fighting for ISIS, a report claims.
It was believed Joe “JoJo” Dixon perished alongside former punk Jones when a convoy she was travelling in was completely destroyed by a CIA Reaper drone in June.

ISIS feature British boy thought to be Sally Jones' son Joe 'JoJo' Dixon in execution video
However, sources have now told that the 12-year-old was about 35 miles away in the village of al-Shaafa, near Syria’s eastern border with Iraq when the attack happened.
It's claimed he was separated from his notorious mother not long after Jones’s husband Junaid Hussein was killed in 2015.
JoJo - who now goes by the name Hamza - is believed to have taken up arms with ISIS when he turned 12 in December.
He reportedly underwent several months of training in the terror group’s “cubs of the caliphate” camps in northern Syria.

PM Theresa May refuses to comment on apparent death of British ISIS recruiter Sally Jones and son Joe 'JoJo' Dixon
“Foreign fighters, mostly Turkish, took Joe and some other Western children from Raqqa to Deir Ezzor province in April to protect them as they are the future of the caliphate,” one resident told The Telegraph by phone.
“They weren’t using them as human shields, as some people say, because the presence of children does not stop the coalition from bombing.”
Jones became Britain’s most wanted woman after fleeing to Syria in 2013 to marry Hussain, an ISIS fighter and computer hacker from Birmingham.
The infamous ISIS recruiter was blown up on the border between Syria and Iraq. At the time it was also believed JoJo was killed in the attack.

British White Widow jihadi Sally Jones killed by US drone strike fleeing ISIS hell
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said Jones was a "legitimate target".
He warned that Brits who join ISIS "run the risk every hour of every day of being on the wrong end of an RAF or a US missile”.
Jojo is believed to have been brainwashed by ISIS - undergoing lessons in radical Islam and firearms and martial arts training.
Last year his heartbroken grandparents identified a boy who featured in an ISIS execution video as him.
Standing behind a row of kneeling prisoners in orange boiler suits, the boy brandished a pistol moments before the men were murdered.

It was a world away from his Kent childhood, with relatives describing him as a gentle animal-loving lad.
Jones is understood to have been zapped” by the US Air Force Predator drone alongside other senior ISIS commanders.
Kingpin jihadi recruiter Jones was inside a new ISIS headquarters with them when the American Hellfire missile struck it in June.
The building close to the Syria/Iraq border had been recently taken over by some of the warped terror movement’s chiefs.

Jones and her associates had just relocated from their capital of Raqqa to a safer location after coalition forces laid siege to it.
A Whitehall source said: "The Americans zapped her trying to get away from Raqqa. Quite frankly, it’s good riddance."
She met computer hacker Hussain, 21, from Birmingham, in Syria. Mum-of-two Jones, a former punk singer who lived on benefits, was put in charge of the female wing of an ISIS battalion of foreign fighters.
It was founded by Hussain to attack Europe and America. She was also a key recruiter of British ISIS wannabes. It is thought she is the sixth Briton killed in Syria by a drone.

Punk who joined ISIS
SALLY Jones left her Chatham council house for the killing fields of Syria to be a jihadi bride — taking eight-year-old Jojo with her but leaving behind an older son.
Once in Raqqa, the former punk singer wed Junaid Hussain, who she had met online, and took the name Umm Hussein al-Britani.
Back home her distraught family watched as she posted antiSemitic hate messages under a photograph of herself wearing a niqab and waving an AK-47.
In one propaganda post, she posed as a nun with a gun and spoke of her wish to behead Christians with a “nice blunt knife.”
Hussain was killed by a US army drone in Raqqa in 2015 — and Jones became known as the White Widow.
She also became a prolific recruiter for ISIS and her name was put on a US kill list.
But it did not stop her trying to encourage terror attacks in the West. In one 2016 post she sent a message saying: “Have a nice summer. I wouldn’t go into central London through June or July. Well, to be honest, I wouldn’t go there at all by Tube.”
Her last appearance on social media was in September 2016.
She said: “I’ll never marry again. I’ll remain loyal to my husband until my last breath.”
