Mother Of Slain British Al-Shabaab Terrorist Relieved, Says "He Can No Longer Hurt Innocent People".

The mother of slain British Al-Shabaab terrorist,
Thomas Evan, said that she was relieved that
he was killed because he can no longer hurt innocent
people.

"I think he is burning in hell for his heinous
crimes" 57 year old Sally Evan told Sunday Times.
Thomas Evans was among a group of Al-Shabaab
militants killed in Kenya in June 2015 in a
neutralised attack in a military base.

She said she was ‘devastated and relieved at the
same time’ when she received the news of
her son’s death.

“Imagine discovering the death of your child on
Twitter and being both devastated and relieved
at the same time. Devastated because the child
you brought into this world was killed after being
brainwashed into pursuing a murderous cause.
But relieved because the death of your child
meant that he could no longer harm innocent people,”
Sally recently said at an event hosted by Quilliam,
a counter-terrorism organisation.

Thomas Evans moved to Somalia in early 2012
after converting to Islam and being radicalised in
his early 20s, and joined Al-Shabaab.

Sally said when Evans was in Somalia, he called
her to say that he had married a teenage girl.

“He gave her family an old cow so he could
marry her. But at least he’s happy. I wish I could
say the same, but I can’t. I’m heartbroken for him
and for this young girl,”Sally Evans wrote in her
diary on Christmas Eve 2012, the report indicates.

She apparently argued with her son on
phone about the September 2013 deadly
Westgate attack in Nairobi. She was disturbed
that the son she brought up ‘in a normal way’
thought it was okay to ‘murder innocent men,
women and children out shopping’.

Sally refused to obey a request from his son’s
wife Sudea who called her in January 2015 to send
money, saying that she didn’t want to seem to
support terrorism. The next thing she knew,
her other son Michael showed her a Twitter
photo of a dead Evans alongside other Al-Shabaab
members killed in a botched terrorist attack
in Kenya about six months later.

She called Sudea to see how she was dealing
with Evans’ death and says she could not believe
when the her young daughter-in-law said that say
she was ‘happy because he died a martyr fighting
for what he believes in’
