| Sally Jones, seen here playing in a rock band in the 1990s, is believed to have joined IS |
A BRITISH mother has gone from fronting a female rock band in Kent to threatening to execute Christians in Syria.
(Express) A Muslim convert who goes by the name Umm Hussain al-Britani is thought to be Sally Jones, a mother from Chatham with an interest in "black magic" and witchcraft.
Umm Hussain previously claimed she had wed computer hacker-turned jihadi Junaid Hussain after meeting online before the pair travelled to the Middle East to join with Islamic State.
Junaid Hussain is a potential suspect in the beheading of American journalist James Foley, the Sunday Times have revealed.
An investigation into his wife's activities has linked her to an address in Kent and neighbours have identified pictures on her Twitter account and confirmed it is the same woman who left the country five years ago.
Umm Hussain has posted several tweets, some of which have been deleted, in which she praises IS and issues threats against Christians.
"You Christians all need beheading with a nice blunt knife and stuck on the railings at raqqa… Come here I'll do it for you," she wrote.
In another she said: "My husband is away at training camp at the moment refreshing his 'kaafir killing skills'… Don't all cry though he'll be back soon."
The reference to Raqqa relates to an IS ambush which was carried out in northern Syria last month where at least 50 Syrian soldiers were executed and had their severed heads impaled on sticks around the city.
The horrifying display was intended as a message to the people of Raqqa, an area that has become a stronghold for IS militants as they continue to wage war in the region.
