he father of a suspected teenage jihadist has reportedly staged a daring mission to rescue his son from the clutches of Islamic State fighters in Syria.
After learning that 19-year-old Ahmed Mohammadi had left his home in Cardiff, Wales, allegedly to join ISIS fighters, his father Karim journeyed 2,000 miles to bring him back to Britain.
He is believed to be the first British father to have successfully rescued his child from the forces of the Islamic State.
Ahmed was friends with Nasser Muthana, 20, and Reyaad Khan, 21, two jihadists from Cardiff who appeared in an IS recruiting video in June, urging other young Britons to join the fighting.
It is not known if Ahmed had travelled to Syria with Muthana and Khan, but it is thought he had spent time with Muthana before leaving for the war-torn country, where Islamist groups are fighting President Bashar Assad's forces.
