One of Islamic State’s most prominent online agitators, Hoda Muthana, is calling on the US government to forgive her and allow her to return home to Alabama.

Ms Muthana says she regrets moving to Raqqa at the age of 19 and using twitter to repeatedly call on fellow American Islamists to ‘spill the blood’ of US veterans and patriots.

Ms Muthana’s comments come after US president Donald Trump urged Western countries to repatriate captured fighters on Sunday.
