'Child in the video is not my son,' says woman claiming to be Sally Jones

Taking a dig at her ex-husband, Jones said that her son collects grenades now -- not bugs.

Damascus: A woman claiming to be the British-origin jihadi bride, Sally Jones, said that the rumoured child in the ISIS execution video that surfaced online few days ago, was not her son Jo Jo.

According to a report in the Independent, the woman said that her son did not feature in any video and that he 'collects grenades' now.

Earlier, when Islamic State terrorists released a horrific video showing five minor boys shooting prisoners in Syria, a Briton had identified one of the kids as his son, who he had with Sally Jones.

He had also said that Jones fled to Syria with their son when he was just 10 years old.

The man had also said that his son was an innocent kid who loved to chase bugs down the park, before Sally took him away and radicalised him, robbing him of his innocence.

Jones was declared as the world's most wanted terrorist by United Nations after she fled to Syria in 2013 with her 10-year-old son, Jo Jo.

In the video released by ISIS, the boy claimed to be Jo Jo, can be heard referred to as 'Abdullah al-Britani'. Al-Britani is a term often used for terrorists hailing from Britain.

The video also shows five hostages, dressed in orange jumpsuits, kneeling on the ground as child terrorists stand behind them with guns in their hands.

The four other boys in the footage, apart from Jo Jo, are captioned as being Tunisian, Kurdish, Egyptian and Uzbekistani in origin. ISIS has often used children in their propaganda videos, in which the militant group boasts about preparing the next generation of fighters.
