A Muslim convert from Liverpool who was jailed after trying to join ISIS in Syria has been sent back to prison after he was stopped trying to leave the UK for North Africa.
Ginger-haired Ismael Watson, 35, a former Amazon worker once known as Jack, was previously jailed for five years after he was arrested in Turkey in July 2016 and deported.
He told an undercover officer that his pregnant wife, who he had met on the Pure Matrimony website, had 'snitched' on him, and called the police when he left the UK.
He said that he had gelled his hair down to try and look like a Syrian refugee before attempting to cross the border and join ISIS.
Watson was released from custody on February 25 2022 having served his full five-year term because he failed to complete a de-radicalisation programme.
