Trinidadian mother confirms her son with Islamic State group
PORT OF SPAIN - After weeks of speculation about the involvement of Trinidad and Tobago nationals joining the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a mother confirmed her 29-year-old son left the Caribbean country a year ago to join the militant group, according to a local media report.
Shane Crawford, also known as Asadullah, sold his valuables including a van and a big-screen TV to purchase airfare, the Sunday Express reported in an interview with the mother.
He traveled to nearby Venezuela with one of his wives, then to London and Turkey before ending up in Syria, she said.
