A four-year-old British boy dubbed Jihadi Junior, who appeared to blow up a group of ISIS prisoners in a propaganda video, has been smuggled into Sweden for an operation by his mum, it has been reported.

Isa Dare's London-born Jihadi bride mother Grace is believed to have taken her son from the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa to the European country after he had been ill for some months.

Sources told The Sun he had surgery weeks ago. One said his mum chose Sweden because she married a Swede, Abu Bakr, after joining the terrorists. He has since died fighting.

A source told the paper: “Isa had to have an operation weeks ago. He and his mother were in Sweden after she left Syria but no one knows how she managed to get out.

“She had a Swedish husband with ISIS. He is the connection to the country."

Little Isa first came to prominence in February when he was seen in a film released by the terror group, saying: “We will kill kuffar (non-believers) out there.”

His 24-year-old mother Grace - who renamed herself Khadijah after leaving home in Deptford, South East London with Isa - travelled to the Middle East and and later married the Swedish ISIS fighter in 2012.

The four men, described as spies, confess to their 'crimes' in the harrowing footage.

The little boy stands next to a masked Jihadi - who also appears to be British - who says: " David Cameron , you sent your spies to Syria and and when you authorised your men, thousands of miles away to push a button to kill our brothers who lived in the west.

"So today we're going to kill your spies, the same way they helped you kill our brothers.

"So prepare your army and gather your nations for we too are preparing our army for our meeting lies at Dabiq (another name for Islamic State's 'Caliphate')."

They are then seen sitting in the car before the youngster, who is far too young to understand the sickening gravity of what he is doing, presses the detonator.

The four men are killed in the explosion. Afterwards the youngster poses triumphantly next to the smouldering wreckage and shouts "Allahu Akhbar" (God is great).

An Arabic subtitle in the video describes little Isa as: "One of the sons of the martyrs who were targeted by Coalition airstrikes."

This appears to be a reference to the Swedish fighter Abu Bakr, who was married to Isa's mother and killed in 2014.

sa begged his grandad “please save me” as he chatted with him on the phone from the war zone just days before he was filmed in the ISIS PR stunt in January.

Sunday Dare said he wept as he saw the boy paraded in the sick video.

He said: “They are pure evil for doing this to that little child - pure evil. I burst into tears when I saw it was him.

“He doesn’t like it over there. I spoke to him on the phone and he just said ‘Grandad, come and get me’.

“I am devastated they have used my grandson like that - they are using him as a pawn.”

Sunday, 59, said he used to see Isa every day after his birth in King’s College Hospital, London in 2011.

He said he even took him to watch Arsenal play at the Emirates and the boy enjoyed a normal western upbringing in the first months of his life.
