'Jihadi Jack' denies being involved with ISIS in first TV interview

The “middle-class terrorist” dubbed Jihadi Jack has said he has no plans to return to England in his first interview since travelling to Syria.

Oxford born Jack Letts, 20, travelled to Syria for “religious studies” after converting to Islam and was said to have joined terrorist group, ISIS.

In an interview from Syria with Channel 4 News, Mr Letts said he isn't worried about dying in Syria, adding that he missed some small home comforts like donuts and kebabs.

He also claimed he narrowly survived a bombing on an IS stronghold earlier this year.

He told Channel 4 news: “I am not worried, everyone is going to die in their day whether it’s by drone strike, whether you drown, a Muslim understands that his life is between the hands of Allah.”

Letts’ parents, who claim he had mental health issues, are due to stand trial this year over sending him £1700 for “terrorist activity”, a charge which they deny.

Letts said: “I don’t plan on going back to England, if my parents are going to get put in prison for sending me a bit of money then if I came back to England I don’t think I’d be very welcome.”

“But I don’t plan on coming back anyway, I don’t want to come back.”

But Letts did confess to missing small things from his life in England.

He added: “Not big things, small things like kebabs and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts but other than that not really.”
