A former Portsmouth schoolboy died while fighting for ISIS tried to escape Syria but was captured only minutes away from meeting his mother across the Turkish border.
The family of Mehdi Hassan, 19, who attended a private Catholic school in Hampshire, confirmed he died in the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.
Hassan, who also used the alias Abu Dujana, had expressed plans to return to Britain over the last few months but had been scared about the repercussions and the threat of prosecution on terror charges, his family said.
