Son of hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza is stripped of his British passport after travelling to fight alongside jihadists in Syria
Sufiyan Mustafa, 22, left to fight with jihadists in 2003 and wants to return. After he left, the Home Office took away his passport, leaving him stranded. He said he isn't a threat to national security. Earlier this month, Abu Hamza's youngest son appeared in a propaganda video denouncing ISIS and the actions of Assad's government. He is the sixth of eight children fathered by Hamza, who is serving a life-sentence in prison in Colorado.

Nicholas, aged nine, was washed out to sea and drowned whlie his family were on holiday.

Decades later, Richard Beard spoke with his mother about the younger brother he lost at sea.

Yellow fever: Hundreds of brightly coloured cars descend on idyllic Cotswold village in support of a pensioner whose photobombing vehicle was vandalised and branded an 'eyesore'
Peter Maddox, 84, scrapped the bright yellow car he parked outside his home in Bilbury, Gloucestershire (top right) after vandals scrawled 'move' on the bonnet and smashed in his windows causing £6,000 worth of damage. He was criticised by posh locals and tourists who claimed his car was a blot on the rural idyll of the village. After hearing about his plight, hundreds of sympathisers in yellow vehicles (left) descended on the village for a rally in support of Mr Maddox.

Girl whose amazing frizz proves there IS such a thing as uncontrollable hair: Five-year-old is one of just a handful of sufferers (including Albert Einstein) with medical condition which means her mane cannot be tamed
Lyla-Grace Barlow’s frizzy look is the result of an extremely rare medical condition. There are only an estimated 100 cases worldwide today, while previous sufferers include Albert Einstein. The condition is caused by a gene mutation which means that Lyla’s hair follicles are heart-shaped rather than round. Her parents, Alex and Mark Barlow, from Derby, have tried countless products to try to manage the five-year-old’s problem but none has worked. Alex, 28, said: ‘When Lyla was little, her hair used to stand up like Sonic The Hedgehog'.
Oh brothers! Union barons fighting to become head of Unite are now at war over their swanky HOMES
It is the union power struggle likely to determine Jeremy Corbyn’s fate as Labour leader. But the battle to become general secretary of Unite has turned into ‘property wars’ as the incumbent ‘Red’ Len McCluskey, inset right, and his challenger Gerard Coyne, inset left, trade insults over their expensive homes. McCluskey has swung the support of Unite, Britain’s biggest union and Labour’s largest backer, behind Corbyn. But throughout the contest Coyne has been heavily critical of McCluskey’s backing for the Labour leader.
Jeremy Thorpe DID send a hitman to kill me - and they are STILL covering it up: MP's ex-lover reveals police were on the verge of charging a detective over the lurid murder trial - but dropped case due to 'missing court papers'
Early last year, a man called Norman Scott (pictured, left) was asked to recount to detectives his role in one of the 20th Century’s greatest political scandals. What poured forth over four days was a twisting story involving an illicit affair, secret letters, blackmail claims, a botched assassination attempt on a lonely moor, a shabby cover-up and, finally, a fall from grace unparalleled in Westminster. The man who fell was the former Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe (right), who went on trial accused of conspiracy to murder Scott, a part-time model (60s shot inset) who had once been his lover – at a time when homosexuality was illegal in Britain.

Google blood money: Web giant cashes in on vile seven-minute video showing ‘knife expert’ penetrating a stab vest like the one worn by murdered Westminster PC
German weapons 'expert' Jörg Sprave (inset) uploaded a video to YouTube showing how to kill someone wearing a stab vest (pictured) similar to that worn by Westminster terror victim PC Keith Palmer. The vile video was online for six months before the outrage and could be viewed for days afterwards, despite widespread warnings that UK jihadis use such material for training. The Mail on Sunday easily found the film online despite promises made last week by YouTube owners Google to crack down on extremist material. Last night, Home Secretary Amber Rudd condemned the video and demanded that YouTube take action to ensure similar films are banned.

Shampoodunnit? Mystery after MP Simon Danczuk blasts divorcee who put hair removal cream in their ex's shampoo - before his former wife Karen claims the same thing happened to HER
Labour's Simon Danczuk last month condemned divorcees who smear their former partners in front of their children. He told fellow MPs the venom of some exes was dangerously extreme and needed Government action. Mr Danczuk said he even knew of one case when hair removal cream was put in shampoo bottles at the separated father’s home. The claim took a twist last night when his second wife, Karen Danczuk, 33, said she had been a victim of just such an incident, which had left her hair falling out so badly that she gave herself a comb-over style to cover the bald patches. It is the latest bizarre episode in the life of Rochdale MP Mr Danczuk, a twice-married father of four.
The boyband richer than the Beatles: Seven years on from coming third on X Factor, One Direction are worth a quarter of a BILLION. So how DO they (and their glamorous girls) splash the cash?
Just seven years ago, they were schoolboys revising for their GCSEs and A-levels. Today, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne (pictured) are worth a staggering £262 million. That’s at least £50 million each. This week, records filed at Companies House showed the X Factor graduates have sold ten shares in their firm 1D Media, netting them a cool £14 million each. Terrifyingly, all are 25 or under, with all five making the Sunday Times’ under-30 Rich List last year. To put this into context, the Beatles had each made £1.1 million at a similar point in their careers. Even taking into account inflation, this works out at a comparatively paltry £16.7 million per Beatle.
