Shamima Begum, one of three pupils from Bethnal Green who ran away from London aged 15 to join Islamic State in Syria, has been found by The Times in a refugee camp after escaping the jihadists’ final showdown.
In an interview with @A_Loyd_Times she says she does not regret going to Syria, but now she wants to come home to Britain: “I’m not the same silly little 15-year-old schoolgirl who ran away from Bethnal Green four years ago.”
