(Zaman Al Wasl)- Zaman al-Wasl has obtained exclusive footage for Shukee Begum, the famous British woman who had previously joined ISIS, and whose story was circulated in the media due to the circumstances surrounding the story.
The footage shows the 34-year-old Briton wearing a black cloak and sits in a chair in one room, busy with a smartphone, while two children try to talk to her.
The source, who gave Zaman al-Wasl the footage, said that Begum had been hosted by the Free Syrian Army which secured her way bach to Britain through Turkey.
At the end of 2015, Shukee turned a public figure for the international press after her leave to Syria with her five children (The youngest was 1-month-old) to bring back the jihadist husband, Abu Zakaria al-Britani, who entered Syria in the summer of 2014.
Shukee has become a subject of wide controversy, after several British media outlets have reported that she was forced to join ISIS and that she wants to return to Britain, especially after she has become acquainted with the reality of ISIS and its violent face, and that her efforts to convince her husband to return with her have failed.
Shukee claimed that she was trying to stay away from women who joined ISIS who often talk about killing and war and became similar to gangs.
Shukee pointed to the miserable conditions in which the families of the organization's members, women and children, lived. They gathered in one place and shared a bathroom or two bathrooms, a kitchen or two kitchens and getting sick.
Zaman al-Wasl tried repeatedly to confirm if Shukee arrived in Britain, but without a result because of the secrecy of the authorities there, while it is believed she is still in Turkey.
On his part said,"at first, she was convinced that ISIS was the awaited caliphate but over time she changed her mind and fled with the help of FSA.”
Abu Zakaria al-Britani was killed during a terrorist operation whom he executed near Mosul in Iraq beginning of 2017. He is British citizen who was arrested at Guantanamo Bay and released in 2004 after a campaign by Tony Blair's government to release him.
Abu Zakaria, who converted to Islam in 1994 and changed his name to Jamal al-Din al-Harith, received a compensation for his imprisonment of £ 1 million in taxpayers' money in the US prison after a lawsuit against the British government before he fled to Syria to join ISIS.
At the beginning of his youth, Abu Harith was a Karate hero and a violinist.
