Brit jihadi thug fighting in Syria reveals he misses home and is desperate for a Greggs pasty

Pastry-loving thug is thought to be attached to al-Qaeda affiliate

A BRIT jihadi who fled to Syria says he has no plans to return to the UK but does miss the bakery chain GREGGS.

The pasty-loving fanatic, who speaks in a London accent, said he flew out to the war zone to avenge the "sisters who have been raped and the children who have been killed".

The jihadi, known only as Abu Abdullah Britani, was being interview by a US journalist on YouTube documentary channel Face the Truth.

It is not clear who he is fighting with in Syria, but when asked about his goals he says he would like to see "the regime crushed"- suggesting he is with forces opposed to the country's president Bashar al-Assad.

He refused to reveal which jihadi force he is fighting with but made it clear that he prefers Al Nusra, the Al Qaeda franchise fighting in Syria, over ISIS.

With a scarf around his face and sunglasses hiding his eyes, the jihadi tells his interviewer: "No I wouldn't like to return and I definitely don't plan to return.

"I miss home. I miss some of my friends, some of my family, some of my family are reading this. I miss Greggs."

In the roughly 30 minute interview he also reveals how he has been wounded in battle.

Speaking about fighting in the battlefield Britani, who is married with two children, adds: "Usually things are pretty calm until zero hour.

"Most of the firing is at us. When we are going into a big offensive we do have weaponry and artillery but in general the regime has a lot of the fire power, especially from the air.

"When the opportunity arises the military leaders send the brothers in group by group.

"Usually by the grace and mercy of Allah we don't have to do too much. The regime can not cope in battle with the brothers.

"The brothers have a lot of courage."

He also claims the UK media choose to promote ISIS as having a fearsome reputation and exaggerates their threat.
