Moaning ISIS bride Shamima Begum FINALLY shows regret over jihadist life and again begs to come back to UK

ISIS bride Shamima Begum has finally admitted she regrets bringing up kids within the deadly Caliphate - after burying three babies in just five months - and again begged to come back to the UK.

Speaking for the first time since the death of newborn Jarrah, the teen runaway said at first she bizarrely believed the terror group would be a safe place to raise a family.

Speaking to :  ";I do regret having children in the caliphate.

"I came thinking it would be a place of belonging where I could raise a family safely. But it was not a place to have children."

After fleeing battle-scarred Baghuz, Begum, 19,  was moved to the camp for her own safety a week before her baby son fell ill.

She had woken in her tent on March 7 to find Jarrah suffering with serious breathing problems and his skin turning blue.

The pair were both taken from the camp to a nearby hospital, where the tot was put on a drip and given oxygen.

He died hours later and his young mum reportedly stayed alone on a bed in a hospital room with her dead baby until dawn.

However, when she returned to the camp the baby was taken away and buried outside of the perimeter wires that surround the camp.

“There was not an imam there, but some people who work outside the gates they prayed over him,” she said.

NO TEARS FOR TRAGIC TOT

It was the third child she had lost since her first son died in November aged eight months and her one-year-old daughter died in January. Both died of malnutrition and disease.

One of the camp's  guards told Times reporter Anthony Loyd “she never shed a tear” as Jarrah was buried without ceremony.

Despite her dark past, the Londoner says she now regrets everything she has done and has begged to be allowed back to the UK to start her life over.

"Since I left Baghuz I really regretted everything I did, and I feel like I want to go back to the UK for a second chance to start my life over again," she said.

"I was brainwashed. I came here believing everything that I had been told, while knowing little about the truths of my religion."

Begum's jihadi husband earlier told of their “nightmare” after their third baby died in a Syrian refugee camp.

ISIS fighter Yago Riedijk, 27, currently detained in a Kurdish-run camp in Syria, described Begum as "the perfect wife" and said they are heartbroken over the deaths.

He said: “Me and her, we loved them so much it’s a nightmare.

“It’s the worst thing that could ever happen. She’s just alone, heartbroken, having lost three children.";

Home Secretary Sajid Javid has stripped Begum of her British citizenship because of public safety fears and she now lives in the refugee camp near the Iraqi border.

Her case is now the subject of two appeals challenging the home secretary’s revocation of her citizenship, and the legal fight over her status is expected to last months or years.
