The Man Behind ISIS Beheading Videos Is A Kuwaiti Born British University Graduate, Dubbed Jihadi John

The Islamic State executioner known as 'Jihadi John' was today identified as a university graduate from London. Mohammed Emwazi, 27, of Queen’s Park, west London, who studied computer programming at the University of Westminster, is believed to have travelled to Syria in 2012 and later joined ISIS, Washington Post reports.

Jihadi John has featured in the execution videos of U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, aid worker David Haines, 22 Syrian soldiers and Japanese reporter Kenji Goto

Arabic speaker Mr Emwazi, who first moved to Britain aged six, was said to have been raised in a middle-class family and occasionally prayed at a mosque in Greenwich, south-east London.

But after graduating in computing in 2009, he claimed to have been harassed and intimidated by the security services - and even complained to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Mr Emwazi claimed an agent from MI5 knew ‘everything about me; where I lived, what I did, and the people I hanged around with’ and alleged that the agency attempted to ‘turn’ him to work for them...............Get Full Gist Here @ Washington Post:
