Shamima Begum 'was capable of sewing terrorists into suicide vests', a man who interviewed her multiple times has told LBC
Andrew Drury has met Shamima Begum several times.ISIS bride Shamima Begum "was capable of sewing terrorists into suicide vests", a man who has interviewed her several times has told LBC.
Mr Drury told LBC: "I believe she has the capability of sewing suicide vests and I don’t say that easily or without a heavy heart. I think she does… and I actually believe she probably did." Ms Begum appeared in a ten-part podcast series on the BBC, as well as on ITV's Good Morning Britain. She denied having sewn fighters into suicide vests, claiming instead to have been a housewife and a mother.
LBC's Tom Swarbrick quizzed the MP, asking: “What crimes do you think the British state may have committed?” "Essentially, and from the perspective of those responsible for the trafficking, the motive for bringing her to Syria was sexual exploitation to which, as a child, she could not give a valid consent.
"Regrettably, this is a lost opportunity to put into reverse a profound mistake and a continuing injustice. She has been locked in a legal battle with the Government ever since in an attempt to get her citizenship restored.In the latest stage, she challenged the Home Office at the Special Immigration Appeals Tribunal over the decision.
Her supporters claimed she was a victim of trafficking and grooming by ISIS, but the government said she went to Syria with ‘eyes wide open’ and posed a danger to society. "The Government's priority remains maintaining the safety and security of the UK and we will robustly defend any decision made in doing so."
