British jihadist fighters have contacted a university in London to say they regret their decision to join Islamist extremists in the Middle East.
The jihadists, thought to be a 30-strong group, said they wanted to return home to Britain but were afraid they would be jailed if they did so.
They also complained about feeling disillusioned over the last two weeks. It was unclear whether this related to the recent beheadings of two American journalists.
Some who travelled to fight against Syrian President Bashar Assads regime are instead being forced to get involved in in-fighting among rebel groups.
One fighter, who claimed to represent the group, said: Its not what we came for but if we go back (to Britain) we will go to jail. Right now, we are being forced to fight what option do we have?
Professor Peter Neumann of Kings College, who spoke to the former jihadist, said the British extremists want to quit but feel trapped by Britains hardline stance.
Prof Neumann said the Government should set up a deradicalisation programme for ormer jihadis wanting to return to the UK.

They want to go home because their training is finished and their new mission is to bring the war home.
Announce to the world that they were agents sent over by the British government to spy on ISIS.
The Prodigal Son squandered his share of his father’s estate. These idiots wanted to destroy Christians.
Isn’t part of the doctrine of the Muslim faith say it is OKAY to lie, and subvert if you do this to promote Allah and the so called prophet Mohamma
Sorry, did the prodigal son go on a murderous rampage and take up arms against his country?
It saddens me that Americans no longer know this beautiful novel. Please, google it, order it, read it and love it as I do. My mother gave it to me as a young girl and I read it sometimes late at night weeping over the trials of that young traitor...

You Can’t Go Home Again
Leave them in the ME to rot...
I’m blanking on the poem. What is it? It’s lovely.
Walter Scott, IIRC.
It’s Sir Walter Scott from The Lay of the Last Minstrel
The comments below the article by what appears to be mostly British commenters is that they should not be allowed back in the country. Some wanted them back in so they, the commenters, could visit violence on them. Sounds like most Brits are quite sick of multiculturalism. If the recent, horrible event in London didn’t persuade them.
Thanks for the tip. I consider myself fairly well read but had never heard of it before.
Been to Amazon and it is on the way.
I wouldn’t let them in for a second.
I'm certain they're missing the fish and chips........
No way!
It’s visible, though. Let’s show it to them - they’re so ignorant they’ll faint at the sight.
Then if they are killed tomorrow, we will know they were telling the truth... probably...
And those parmos!
Maybe they can rent the movie "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" ...for some tips...
