BRITONS fighting for the brutal Islamist group terrorising the Middle East have faked their deaths on the battlefield in an attempt to return to the UK undetected, according to security sources.
In one case, the martyrdom of a fighter in Syria was announced by his colleagues on social media, only for police to arrest the “dead” individual at Dover.
The use of such tactics emerged just days after Prime Minister David Cameron warned that jihadists with the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, are planning attacks on British soil.
The Sunday Times can reveal that one fighter has called for the prime minister and Theresa May, the home secretary, to be taken hostage and beheaded.
He has also expressed a desire for “more Lee Rigby scenarios in the UK” — a reference to the murder last year of a British soldier in Woolwich, south-east London.
At least 400 British Muslims have travelled to Syria, with many of them joining ISIS, a group that has now taken control of large swathes of neighbouring Iraq and is regarded as so ruthless that it has even been disowned by al-Qai’ida.
