Channel 4 News: Jamal Al-Harith: Guantanamo detainee flees to Syria
A British terror suspect released from Guantanamo Bay after lobbying by the British Government is with the so-called Islamic State in Syria, Channel 4 News can reveal.
Muslim convert Jamal al-Harith was freed from the infamous US detention centre in 2004 after then-Home Secretary David Blunkett campaigned for his release.
But we can reveal, despite his previous detention, he was able to leave the UK 18 months ago and join the militant Islamic State in Syria.
His journey to join Isis can be revealed by Channel 4 News following the escape from ISIS-controlled Syria last month by British mother Shukee Begum and her five children.
