NDM Story #33 British jihadi who faked his own death to return to UK is jailed for 12 years

Imran Khawaja, who spent six months with the Rayat al-Tawheed insurgents Syria.


A British jihadi, who appeared in “horrific and deeply disturbing” propaganda videos and faked his own death so he could return to the UK from a Syrian training camp, has been jailed for 12 years. Imran Khawaja, 27, nicknamed “Barbie”, posed with severed heads, dead fighters and child soldiers during a six-month stint with Rayat al-Tawheed (RAT) insurgents in Syria last year. But he told friends he had “had enough” of the conditions, and had complained about the lack of toiletries, cocoa butter, and condoms for the “war booty”. His 'death' was posted on social media.

This case is disturbing and disappointing that people take such drastic action and can go as far as to faking their own death through social media.
