Meanwhile, the May government has admitted that a “significant portion” of returned Islamic State jihadis free, as they are considered no longer to be a security concern.

He added: “In fact we’d likely get embraced for what we were doing when we got home.”
Even when he was injured on the battlefield, he recalled American medics “laughing and joking with him”, while others noted he was doing “good” work….
