Speculation was mounting today that the ISIS executioner dubbed the 'new Jihadi John' is a British fanatic who skipped police bail to join the terror group in Syria.
British security agents are racing to identify the masked militant who spoke with a clear English accent in a sickening new execution video in which he is seen shooting an alleged British spy.
Reports have been circulating that he could be Siddhartha Dhar, a British militant who went on the run with his pregnant wife and family while under investigation by Scotland Yard in 2014.
Dhar's sister also fuelled speculation after saying she believed the ISIS gunman sounded very much like her brother.
The father-of-four from Walthamstow was one of nine men detained on suspicion of encouraging terrorism and supporting radical cleric Anjem Choudary and the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.
The former bouncy castle salesman later posted a picture of himself cradling his baby while brandishing an assault rifle to taunt security services whose blunders allowed him to escape. » | Simon Tomlinson for MailOnline | Monday, January 4, 2016
