British Isis member Sally Jones 'killed in airstrike with 12-year-old son'
Jones and her husband Junaid Hussain (EKIA 25 August 2015) were well known for using social media (Twitter) to recruit for ISIS. She also instructed European female ISIS recruits as suicide bombers. She is survived by a 20 year old son living in the UK.

Sally Jones - a/k/a/ The White Widow or Umm Hussain al-Britani
The British member of Islamic State Sally Jones is believed to have been killed, along with her 12-year-old son Jojo, in a US airstrike. Although there is confidence she is dead, it is impossible to be categorical given the inability to collect evidence on the ground. Other members of Isis have been reported dead only to reappear. Jones, dubbed “the white widow” by some in the press, was a regular propagandist on social media. She had more than 20 handles on Twitter but there has been no activity from her in recent months. The Sun reported that the CIA had told its UK counterparts Jones was killed by a Predator drone strike near the Syria-Iraq border in June. It added she had last been seen fleeing from Raqqa and heading for the Syrian border town of Mayadin. Many Isis members have fled the city as the organisation has gradually been squeezed.
