Jihadi bride  Begum ‘gives birth'in Syria
LONDON 17 Feb (ANA) - British jihadi bride Shamima Begum has reportedly given birth to a baby boy in a refugee camp in northern Syria.
Her family lawyer said: ‘We, the family of Shamima Begum, have been informed that Shamima has given birth to her child, we understand that both she and the baby are in good health. ‘As yet we have not had direct contact with Shamima, we are hoping to establish communications with her soon so that we can verify the above.’
Begum, 19, has been the subject of a national debate during the past week when she resurfaced in a refugee camp four years after escaping to Syria with two other girls. She begged to be allowed to return to Britain to have her third child, after her two other children, a one-year-old girl and a three-month-old boy, died of malnutrition.
The former schoolgirl said she would ‘do anything required to be able to come home and live quietly with my child.’(ANA)
