DEIR AL-ZOR, Syria (Reuters) - The baby of Shamima Begum, a teenager who left London to join the Islamic State group in Syria, has died, a spokesman for the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Friday.

 

Begum, whose two older children had also previously died, was stripped of her British citizenship last month on security grounds after she was discovered in a detention camp in Syria.

 

The 19-year-old left London to join IS when she was 15. She had sought to return to Europe with her third child, who was born just over three weeks ago.

 

SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali said the child had died. Shamima has said in media interviews her baby son was called Jarrah.

 

Begum married Yago Riedijk, a Dutch fighter for IS who surrendered to Syrian fighters and was being held in a Kurdish detention centre in northeastern Syria.

 

The family's lawyer said earlier on Friday there were strong but as yet unconfirmed reports that Begum's infant son had died.

 

The fate of Begum has illustrated the ethical, legal and security conundrum that governments face when dealing with the families of militants who swore to destroy the West.

 

The U.S-backed SDF is now trying to take Islamic State's last, small patch of ground in eastern Syria. They have slowed their offensive on the jihadist enclave at Baghouz near the Iraqi border to allow many thousands of people to pour out in an exodus that has lasted weeks.

That's three dead babies so far for this terrorist who went along with be headings, burning people alive and mass rape, maybe karma is real after all?

Karma is bs perpetuated by the privileged few to keep the ignorant masses in their place at the bottom of the pile.

These three are the only innocents in the whole sorry affair and died because they were unable to get suitable medical care in a war zone.

Don't remember Isis abiding by even one international law

Isis is more of a religouse group or political entity, not really recognized as legitimate by international standards or international law

 

IS members should be prosecuted locally for crimes committed in that jurisdiction, or be deported to their home nation to be dealt with there, if the recipient nation has the will to do so.

Whatever you think of his parents, and my opinion of them is as low as you can get, the baby was an innocent.

Agree entirely, but what 'should' have been the 'right' course of action to protect the innocent baby?

 

Genuine question, as I've no idea.

No country wants her, not even Bangladesh which presumably she has dual citizenship, yet it's fairly obvious that the UK will eventually have to take her in.

 

She will either go to jail, highly unlikely considering the UK soft attitude to "refugees" or more likely she will be set up in free accommodation with free medical and dental plus a spending allowance and so be set for the rest of her life.

 

All of which is more than any returning pensioner would ever hope to get. :sad:

 

She abandoned her country to join an enemy of her country she should be classified as a traitor and dealt with accordingly. :1zgarz5:

"not even Bangladesh which presumably she has dual citizenship"

A convenient, if false presumption. And if she has violated UK laws then on her return she should be tried.
