A British jihadist known as the 'White Widow' to some parts of the UK media has reportedly been killed in a US drone strike in Syria.
The Sun newspaper reports the UK was informed in June that 50 year-old Sally Jones had been killed - but claims the news was not made public over fears her 12 year-old son may have also died in the attack.
One of Britain's most wanted women, she fled to Syria with her son in 2013 and was a leading recruiter for the Islamic State.
Her husband - another British jihadist - was killed in a US drone strike in 2015.
Major General Chip Chapman, a former counter-terrorism chief at Britain's Ministry of Defence, says her death is a blow to the Islamic State group.
