The flag-burning father of a runaway British jihadi schoolgirl yesterday admitted taking his daughter to an extremist rally when she was 13. Abase Hussen – who blamed police for failing to stop his daughter fleeing to join IS earlier this year – conceded the teenager was ‘maybe’ influenced by the rally organised by banned terror group Al-Muhajiroun. Mr Hussen told MPs last month, after his daughter Amira Abase fled to Syria aged 15, that he could think of ‘nothing’ to explain why she and two friends had decided to join IS, as well as keeping quiet about his own links to radicalism.Abase Hussen said maybe his daughter was influenced by attending a rallyAmira Abase was one of three teenage girls who fled to Syria in FebruaryMr Hussen attended one rally alongside one of Lee Rigby's killersHe said he moved to Britain in 1999 for freedom and democracy
