Shamima Begum has ’blood on her hands’

Islamic State bride Shamima Begum has made a fresh attempt to return to the UK, claiming she can help by being a “voice against radicalisation“. But former Intelligence Officer Phillip Ingram warns she almost certainly has “blood on her hands“. Begum has begged the British public for forgiveness, saying there is “no evidence” she was a key player in preparing terrorist acts and is prepared to prove her innocence in court. Begum, who fled her east London home for Syria as a 15-year-old schoolgirl more than six years ago, denied any involvement in terror activities and said she wanted to be brought back to the UK to face charges. The 22-year-old even said she could be “an asset” in the fight against terror in a direct appeal to the Prime Minister, saying she had been “groomed” to flee to Syria as a “dumb” and impressionable child.
