Plans to smuggle 'Jihadi Jack' out of Syria and take him to Canada collapsed at the last minute 'after Foreign Office intervention,' an MP has revealed.
Jack Letts, 23, fled his hometown of Oxford to join ISIS in 2014 where he said he lived on 'the Oxford Street of Raqqa', got married to an Iraqi and fathered a child.
Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle claimed Letts - whose father is Canadian - was just days away from being transited to Canada before 'another party' blocked the move.
The Canadian government pledged 'they would do everything' to ensure the release of Letts and planned his transit through Turkey, Channel 4 reported.
