A British man trying to return home from fighting in Syria has told ITV News he fears what might happen to him if he does.
The man - who spoke on condition of anonymity - says he went to Syria a year ago to fight the Assad regime, not to bring terror back to the streets of Britain.
Before he joined the conflict, he had a full-time job earning a £40,000 salary.
