I am sure that during the Congo wars that British mercenaries were guilty by law of committing a criminal offence. If that is so, and the law has not been removed from the statute books, then there should be no reason for the Jihadists fighting in the ME not to be prosecuted and finish up in jail. If that is the cast then there is possibly a case for their families being charged with aiding and abetting a criminal offence.
