Isis ‘White Widow’ Sally Jones is killed by US drone strike

I have just read an article which attracted my attention with the words “White Widow”. I wanted to know who has a nickname like that. It turns out that a former  punk-rocker, a mother and a wife to a 21-year old jihadist hacker was dubbed like that. Sally Jones was responsible for recruiting young girls to became jihadist brides and various threats against Britain on social media. Also, she allowed her 12-year old son to take part in executions.

Sally was killed in a drone attack. However heartless it may seem, the technology is truly amazing. They can be used for a really many purposes, not only killing. Drones are indeed fascinating. The next thing that got me flabbergasted is how can a woman of 50, brought up in the West become a Muslim, marry a guy who was a teenager a moment ago and go fight a war. The greatest victim is the woman’s son. He was a victim even before he died at his mother’s side.
