Shamima Begum, who Piers Morgan believes should be ‘left to rot’ in Syria, reportedly ‘won’t reveal the Brits who also joined ISIS,’ despite vowing to help tackle terrorism if she returned to the UK. 

According to The Sun, the now 22-year-old allegedly told friends she wouldn’t give up that information as it would be crossing a ‘red line’.

In a chat with the publication, an insider reportedly said: “All the talk was about helping deradicalise kids and stop them from following in her footsteps.

“But she’s made it clear she won’t name any British IS fighters she met in Syria.

“Some have survived and the intelligence is so patchy that her evidence would be invaluable. But for her, it’s a red line. It won’t help her chances.”

Last week, Begum had her first live television interview with Good Morning Britain and claimed she didn’t know ISIS was a ‘death trap’.

The woman, who grew up in East London, said: “No one can hate me more than I hate myself for what I’ve done and all I can say is I’m sorry and just give me a second chance.

“The only crime I think I committed was being dumb enough to come to ISIS.”

Addressing Prime Minister Boris Johnson, she then stated: “You are clearly struggling with extremism and terrorism in your country. 

“I could very much help you with that because you clearly don’t know what you’re doing.

“I want them [the British public] to see me as an asset rather than a threat to them.”

After watching the interview, Health Secretary Sajid Javid reportedly ridiculed Begum’s claims of only being a ‘wife and mother’ after joining ISIS.

The 51-year-old, who is believed to have removed the woman’s right to be British, remarked: “If you know what I knew – you would have made exactly the same decision.”
