(Sky News) A suspected Islamic State militant from the UK, dubbed “Jihadi Jack,” has told Sky News he regrets what he did and feels guilty for what he put his parents through.
Speaking from the prison in Syria where he is being held by Kurdish authorities, Jack Letts urged mum Sally Lane, 57, and dad John Letts, 58, “not to give up.”
It is his first interview since his parents were found guilty of funding terrorism after they sent him cash.
Muslim convert Jack Letts, who left his family home in Oxford in 2014, said: “I feel guilty because I’m the reason they are going through this.”
He added: “I understand I am being punished because of what I have done but my mother shouldn’t be punished for that.”
