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 Assad’s regime are instead being forced to get involved in in-fighting among rebel groups.
One fighter, who claimed to represent the group, said: ‘It’s 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 King’s College, who spoke to the former jihadist, said the British extremists want to quit but feel trapped by Britain’s hardline stance.
Prof Neumann said the Government should set up a ‘deradicalisation programme’ for ormer jihadis wanting to return to the UK.

Beheadings where the preserve of the Gentry.
Hang ,Draw ,and quarter , would have been the order of the day.
The Heads then placed on Pikes at the south end of London Bridge.
All of the necessary hardware is still in place......
Prof Neumann said the Government should set up a ‘deradicalisation programme’ ....’ALLey, ALLey in free?’
I’m sure the Tower Guards could arrange something suitable.
Nothing more dangerous than a group of old NCOs with a grudge.
Hope they make tickets available to this event....
