SAS team saves three British ISIS children in Syria – The Sun

THREE British IS children have been rescued in Syria in a daring Special Forces mission.

SAS troops drove Foreign Office staff into the hell-hole in armoured vehicles to pick up the youngsters and race them to safety.

But officials would not confirm when the operation took place. Last night Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: “These innocent children should never have been subjected to the horrors of war.

“Now they must be allowed privacy and given the support to return to a normal life.”

A Kurdish diplomat named Dr Abdulkarim Omar wrote on Twitter yesterday: “Three British children from IS parents were handed over to a delegation representing the British Foreign Ministry.”

Earlier this month, the Government maintained it would be unsafe for Foreign Office staff to operate in Syria without a diplomatic relationship with the country.

There was also criticism of the risk posed to British forces protecting any rescue mission. More than 100 individuals have been stripped of British citizenship after going abroad to join jihadist groups.

But Save the Children’s Alison Griffin, said: “There are as many as 60 British children stranded in appalling conditions (in Syria). All are as innocent as those rescued and our real fear is that they won’t all survive to see the spring.”
