LECCO -- Having disappeared two years ago, abandoning her husband and two young daughters, Valbona Berisha, now 34, fled from Italy with her son to Syria to enrol herself within the Isis terrorist group, and her now six-year-old son begs his father to bring him back home.

 “She is dressed like a ninja,” said the terrified child over a Skype conversation with his father, claiming he was scared and wanted “to go back to school.”

 “I’m scared, there’s aeroplanes that throw bombs,” said the young boy, read out by the head of Milanese Anti-terrorism Alberto Nobili in a press conference. “I’m scared and I want to come home to go to school.”

 His devastated father has made several attempts to convince Valbona Berisha to allow the child to return home, pleading, “Send me my son and you stay there and do whatever you want,” but to no avail.

 His wife is of Albanese origin and was married in Lecco, becoming a housewife with three young children. An international arrest warrant for criminal association for purposes of international terrorism has been sent.

 Berisha was last seen in a village 40 kilometres from Aleppo, and it is not currently known if she and the chid are still alive.

 The ex-housewife was in contact with Isis radicals over the Internet for a while before her eventual flight to Syria, one of whom is believed to be Selimoviq Mendush, a ‘foreign fighter’ of Serbian origin.

 Mendush, who died in Feb. 2015 fighting in Islamic State territories, put the woman into contact with an agency specialising in transfers of this kind to the Isis organisation, and paid for tickets to Syria for her and her young son, leaving Dec. 17, 2014.

 On the woman’s personal computer, left at home in Lecco whilst she and her son fled, significant pieces of film footage were found. In some, children are seen training with Kalashnikov rifles.
