Times Square idiot convert ‘jihadi’, 19, was arrested with chilling manifesto

The alleged Islamic extremist who stabbed a rookie NYPD cop with a machete near Times Square on New Year’s Eve and was on an FBI ‘watchlist’ wrote a chilling manifesto where he urged his family to ‘repent to Allah.’

Trevor Bickford, 19, from Wells, Maine, who officials believe became radicalized and vowed to fight in Afghanistan, addressed a letter to his family where he urged his loved ones to convert so they ‘may be taken out of the hellfire.’

According to police sources who spoke with one outlet, the Maine resident had a handwritten note and collection of religious materials in his backpack while visiting Manhattan to carry out the attack.

Brit ISIS Bride Doesn’t Think She’s Done Anything Wrong

A British mother and former Pizza Hut worker who left to join Islamic State has urged the UK to let her return from Syria with her daughters aged seven, nine and 12.

Nicole Jack, of Shepherd’s Bush, West London, and her children are being detained at Camp Roj where relatives of people suspected of belonging to Isis are held.

Ms Jack, 34, is being held at the same camp as Isis bride Shamima Begum – a fellow Londoner who had her UK citizenship cancelled by Sajid Javid on security grounds in 2019 and will not be allowed back – but insisted she is not a security threat to Britain.
