London, August 23: Swaggering in the desert and glowering menacingly at the camera, Islamic State terrorist group’s infamous executioner Jihadi John has in a newly released video vowed to return to Britain and carry on cutting off heads.
In a one-minute 17-second video, the knife-wielding fanatic, Mohammed Emwazi, who has taken part in the gruesome beheadings of at least seven hostages in Syria, including two Britons, vows to continue “cutting heads”.
According to a report in London-based Daily Mail, 27-year-old Emwazi promises a triumphant return to Britain with the terror group’s self-styled leader. Emwazi, who was last seen in a sickening IS video at the end of January, beheading Japanese hostage Kenji Goto, was identified in February as 27-year-old Londoner Mohammed Emwazi. In an eight-second excerpt obtained by Daily Mail, the camera pans away from a flatbed truck upon which a grenade-launcher was mounted to reveal a hooded Emwazi in profile.
Swathed in black and wearing a cap under his hood, he then turns and stares directly into the lens before looking away to scan the desert. Emwazi, christened Jihadi John by western media, can be heard clearly saying in a British accent: “I will carry on cutting heads.” A seven-second-long snippet of the full video has been released by British media. Meanwhile, Islamic State group jihadists mutilated the body of a famed Syrian archaeologist after killing him execution-style in the ancient city of Palmyra last week, his family said Sunday.
