The first British female fighter to battle Isil has accused MI5 of targeting her family by taking away their laptops and phones.

Kimberley Taylor travelled to Syria to join Kurdish forces in the battle to reclaim Raqqa in March last year from Islamic State (Isil) fighters.

Ms Taylor, from Blackburn, is the first known British woman and has claimed her family is being threatened with prosecution.

She told the BBC that her parents' laptops and phones were taken away and have still not been returned - a month after they were seized.
