Ministers have stripped more than 150 jihadists of their citizenship and banned them from Britain, as intelligence chiefs warned they may return from war-torn Syria and unleash a new wave of attacks.
MI5 has previously said around 850 extremists from Britain travelled to the Middle East as ISIS took control of Syria and parts of Iraq.
But with the terror group now being pushed out, jihadists with British passports are fleeing back to the UK.
Many of those returning were trained in the use of explosives and firearms as they took part in ISIS's bloody rampage.
Time is running out for the government to act before ISIS falls, as it can only strip citizenship of those who will not be left stateless.
In May, security sources said around 350 ISIS fighters had already come back to the UK from Syria and estimate another 300 could yet return.-Dailymail
