Nicola Benyahia does not know exactly how or where her only son died. All she knows is it happened somewhere along the 599km border between Syria and Iraq.
“The reason they don’t give you more information is because it was a very volatile time,” Ms Benyahia tells
The Independent. “There would have been lots of Isis operations going on so they wouldn’t have wanted to risk anything getting out.”
Her life was irreparably changed after she learnt her 19-year-old son Rasheed died after going to fight for Isis in Syria back in 2015. Since then she has set up an organisation called Families for Life, which supports families whose children are radicalised, believing mothers can play a strong role in stopping the process.
