Isis Briton compares Manchester bombing to western airstrikes
Tehran (KNA) - The east London schoolgirl who left the UK to join Islamic State has compared the Manchester Arena bombing to airstrikes by the western allies that killed non-combatants in Isis-held areas.
Shamima Begum, 19, says she wants to return to Britain and is asking for "forgiveness", having given birth to a son on Saturday while in a refugee camp in Syria.
A debate has broken out about whether Begum, who travelled to Syria in 2015 aged 15, should be allowed to return to Britain having joined Isis, which has claimed responsibility for terrorist attacks on the UK.
The Manchester Arena attack in May 2017 killed 22 people after a suicide bomber detonated a device packed with shrapnel at the end of a pop concert.
