Speculation that ISIS executioner ‘could be Walthamstow jihadi’, report claims

US officials said in November they were “reasonably certain” that an airstrike had killed Mohammed Emwazi, who was dubbed “Jihadi John” by hostages who nicknamed him and three British colleagues “The Beatles”.

The London-based grandfather, Sunday Dare, of the young boy identified in the latest Islamic State militant group (ISIS) video gave an interview to Channel 4 News on Monday.

The Isil propaganda video was released on Sunday and showed the murder of five Syrian men, who were accused of spying for the British.

A convert from Hinduism who lived in east London, Dhar regularly attended protests staged by the now banned organization al-Muhajiroun and had often spoken to the media in support of radical Islamic causes.

One of Dhar’s former business associates told the BBC he had “no doubt” the voice on the video was that of Dhar, who had been arrested on suspicion of encouraging terrorism by the British police but was later able to travel to Syria after being bailed. A year ago she was said to have posted a picture on Twitter of Isa with an AK-47 rifle.

His mother and sister said they “noticed similarities between the voice of the masked Jihadi and Dhar”. “He is going to come back and I’m going to kill him if he has done this”.

Dhar’s sister, Konika, has said the voice in the video sounded “a bit like” her brother, but she did not believe it was him. “It’s definitely him. Of course I’m anxious but there’s nothing I can do now”.

“Because the guy who I knew was no more capable of it than you or I as far as I could tell”.

British fighter jets joined the U.S.-led coalition bombing Islamic State targets in Syria after parliament backed the move in December.

Ms Dhar also thinks it might not be her brother due to the appearance of the young boy, who is the son of British extremist Grace “Khadija” Dare.

I can’t believe it. This is just so shocking for me.

“He has called just to speak to my mum a couple of times since he has gone out, just to say he is ok, but he would never say that he is not ok, so how can I know that he is?”

“Only an imbecile would dare to anger a people who love death the way that you love your life”, the masked man goes on to say.

United Kingdom security agencies immediately started to try to identify the man in the video and are working on the assumption that it is a real message from ISIS.

“To remember him like that and then see him supposedly in this video, I don’t understand that”, he said, adding that Dhar must have had some very significant experiences in Syria with Islamic State to make him capable of doing what he did.

The footage shows five men in orange jumpsuits “confessing” to taking money in return for filming and photographing sites in Raqqa, the capital of IS’s self-declared caliphate. He is going to come back and I am going to kill him if he has done this.
