Mother tells ITV News British teenager killed in Syria strikes

A mother has told ITV News her teenage son was killed in Syria by US-led airstrikes.

Ibrahim Kamara, 19, from Brighton, was killed in Idlib, Syria, after strikes on the war-torn country.

A picture of Ibrahim's dead body was sent to his sibling in Britain with the message "congratulations your brother has been martyred".

His mother, Khadijah Kamara, told of her "anger" towards the people who "brainwashed" her son.

The single mother of four boys initially discovered Ibrahim was fighting in Syria after he phoned her from the war-torn country.

ITV News International Affairs Editor Rageh Omaar reports:

Ms Kamara said she struggled to understand why her son would want to fight for extremists in Syria,

She said her 19-year-old son was "bitter" after she disapproved of his decision, telling him he "was not doing the right thing".

Ms Kamara also spoke of her fury with the airport that allowed her son to travel on his 15-year-old brother's passport.

Facebook friends of Ibrahim, who claim to be fighting in Syria, also seemingly confirmed his death on the social networking site.

A picture of Ibrahim was posted with the message: "May Allah accept you".
