Mariam Al Mansouri's F-16 bombing raids were celebrated in the West. But a statement purporting to be from her UAE family has 'disowned' her. It attacks her for 'taking part in the brutal aggression against Syria'.

The female air force pilot whose missions against Isis were dubbed 'bosoms on the ground' has reportedly been disowned by her family and labelled an 'ingrate'.

It also expressed support for the Islamic State, saying 'we are proud of the Sunni heroes in Iraq and the Levant'. The brutal terrorist group's original name was the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or Isil.

The statement also expressed support for the Syrian revolution, according to the Palestinian Wattan news agency.

It said: 'We the Mansouri family in the United Arab Emirates hereby publicly declare that we disown the so-called Mariam Al Mansouri as well as anyone taking part in the brutal international aggression against the brotherly Syrian people, starting with our ingrate daughter Mariam Al Mansouri.

'We ask our countrymen not to burden us with the consequences of the actions of the so-called Mariam Al Mansouri.'
