British IS recruiter Sally-Anne Jones, dubbed the White Widow, has been killed in a US drone strike, it has been reported.

Jones was killed close to the border between Syria and Iraq by a US Air Force strike in June, according to The Sun.

She and her husband Junaid Hussain went to Syria in 2013 to join IS.

He was killed by a US drone in 2015, and had allegedly been planning "barbaric attacks against the West", including terror plots targeting "high profile public commemorations" this summer.
