BRIT IS fighter Jihadi Jack will be repatriated from Syria to Canada, where he is also a citizen.

Jack Letts is among four men whose families won court backing for a return to the country.

It came after Canada had already agreed to take back six women and 13 children, also being held in camps in Syria.

Letts was 18 when he fled to Syria in 2014 and wed an Iraqi woman.

He was held by Kurdish-led forces in 2017 and begged to be returned to Oxford, saying he posed no threat.

The UK revoked his passport in 2019 but he has Canadian citizenship via his dad.

“Overjoyed” mum Sally, now living in Canada, said: “We’ve been battling to get Jack back for so long.”

He is unlikely to face jail in Canada because he had no trial.
