First picture of the face of the
younger, normal, happy looking
schoolboy who has now turned into the reviled, disgusting ISIS
executioner,
Jihadi John, who has publicly beheaded many foreign nationals and now
the face of ISIS. Originally born in Kuwait before moving to UK at 6,
his name is Mohammed Emwazi. He embraced British life, playing football
in
the affluent streets of West London while supporting Manchester United.
Neighbours recalled a polite, quietly spoken boy who was studious at his
Church of England school, where he was the only Muslim pupil in his
class. The son of a Kuwaiti minicab driver, young Emwazi arrived in
Britain speaking only a few words of English, and appeared more
interested in football than in Islam. It was only after he won a place studying computing at the University of Westminster that his behaviour began to change.
He was on a UK terror watch list as culled from LIB, but managed to flee to Syria in 2012. Now, he's known around the world as the notorious Islamic State murderer who has shocked the world with his blood lust.
The
university has since been linked with several proponents of radical
Islam, and Emwazi appeared to have fallen under their sway.
He
began attending different mosques and was known to associate with Bilal
el-Berjawi, who was killed by a drone strike in Somalia three years
ago.
But
the group was refused entry and put on a plane to the Netherlands,
where Emwazi later claimed he was questioned by an MI5 agent called
Nick.
The
British officer accused him of planning to travel to Somalia to join
the militant group Al Shabaab, he said, and said MI5 had been watching
him.
Emwazi
denied the accusation – bragging that he would not take a designer
Rocawear sweater in his luggage if he was planning to join Somalian
rebels.
In emails to
the campaign group Cage, Emwazi said: ‘He [Nick] knew everything about
me; where I lived, what I did, the people I hanged around with.’
‘Nick’ then tried to recruit the 21-year-old, Emwazi claimed, and threatened him when he refused to cooperate.
Emwazi
said the officer told him: ‘You’re going to have a lot of
trouble…You’re going to be known…You’re going to be followed…Life will
be harder for you.’
On
his return to Britain, Emwazi said his family told him they had been
‘visited’, and he claimed a woman he had been planning to marry broke
off their engagement because her family had also been contacted and were
scared.
According
to Emwazi, his family then began planning for him to travel to Kuwait
to get him away from the ‘harassment’ he had suffered in Britain and he
went to work for a computer programming company in the emirate.
In his
account to Cage, he said security officers continued to visit his family
and he decided to make a ‘new life’ in Kuwait, where he was once again
planning to marry.
But
following a visit back to Britain in 2010 he said he was stopped at
Heathrow Airport and barred from flying back to Kuwait, and claimed that
he was interrogated by an aggressive officer who threw him against a
wall, grabbed his beard and strangled him.
