A British member of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist network, dubbed as the 'White Widow' by UK media, has been killed along with her minor son in a US drone strike in Syria. Sally Jones, known for a her prolific pro-ISIS propaganda on social media and often described as the world's most wanted terrorist, is believed to have been killed along with her 12-year-old son Jojo. The 50-year-old was a punk rocker from England before she converted to Islam and went on to become one of the most notorious recruiters for ISIS.
