Jones, also known as "Mrs. Terror", is a single mother of two children. The 50-year-old became a wife to jihadist Junaid Hussain back in 2013 and went to the Middle East taking one of her sons with her.
The boy is now about 12. He is claimed to have been forced to execute hostages.
According to reports, Jones has been one of the most efficient planners of terror attacks and one of the most influential Daesh recruiters. She has been leading a recruitment network called the "Raqqa 12" and has been involved in plotting numerous terrorist attacks worldwide.
After her husband was killed in a US drone attack in August 2015, the woman was apparently left alone without any protection. According to a local witness, the woman was desperate and pleading to get back to the UK.
"She was crying and wants to get back to Britain but ISIS [Daesh] is preventing her because she is now a military wife. She told me she wishes to go to her country," a woman, called Aisha, said in an interview with Sky News.
The Daesh terrorist organization is notorious for actively recruiting women from Europe and the United States. Many of them marry terrorists.
The woman had been his wife only for a short period of time, couldn't stand local conditions and returned to the US where she served two years in prison on charges of "violating the public trust" and "endangering national security."
The most notorious "Daesh bride" case in Russia involved a second-year student of Moscow State University, Varvara Karaulova. In 2015, the young woman was detained in Turkey as she tried to cross the border to Syria.
At the end of May, the girl disappeared and was put on the international wanted list. In June, she was detained while trying to cross the border in the Turkish city of Kilis. She was brought to Moscow and is now serving her sentence in prison.
