Abu Hamza's son 'wants to come back to the UK' after fighting in Syria

The son of radical cleric Abu Hamza wants to return to the UK, according to reports.

Sufyan Mustafa fled Britain for Syria in 2013 and previously had his citizenship revoked.

The 24-year-old, suspected of terrorism offences, claims he was fighting against the Assad regime which he said he feels is the cause of terrorist organisations in the country.

It was reported last year he was prevented from boarding a flight to the UK from Turkey, where he is believed to remain, after his named was flagged up on a watchlist.

He has Moroccan nationality, so has not been left stateless by the Home Office after they revoked his right to settle in Britain, however is said he does not wish to go to Morocco.

A source told the Sun: "He is trying to appeal against the decision to take away his British citizenship.

‘’He has been told he can travel from Turkey to Morocco but doesn’t wish to.​"

A friend of Mustafa told the Sun he was "desperate" to return.

Mustafa is the seventh son of cleric Hamza, who is serving life in prison over terror charges.

He has previously tried to distance himself from his father's views and refuted the idea he would cause harm to anyone living here.

He has also spoken against ISIS in a video on his YouTube channel.

His plea to come back comes at the same time as ISIS bride Shamima Begum attempting to return home.

She has also had her citizenship revoked.
