American and British intelligence officials are eyeing a British-born rapper as the militant who beheaded journalist James Foley.
A senior Western intelligence official told Fox News that 23-year-old London rapper Abdel Majed Abdel Bary is the suspect believed to be Foley's executioner.
U.S. intelligence officials are not commenting publicly on the reports, but a well-placed source told Fox News that Bary's Egyptian-born father was extradited from London to the United States in 2012 for his alleged connection to Usama bin Laden and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa.
Bary traveled to Syria last year to fight with ISIS, the source said.
The Sunday Times and Sunday People identified Bary as a member of a group of at least three British-born ISIS fighters known among former hostages as "The Beatles."
The Sunday Times reported that MI5 and MI6, Britain's two major intelligence agencies, had identified the man who did the brutal deed, though he had not been publicly identified.

That’s about all you can do. I understand. We have over 700 of the most vile killers on record, and we don’t execute anyone. The death penalty has been legal here, but nothing is done. We spend tens of millions to keep these vile creatures comfy each year.
If that were the sentence and he gets out in 25 years he would be 47. Not long enough.
A rapper.
Shoulda known.
They really are the best of the damn best.
What would this world do without rappers ;/
Have we found the body yet? The whole video seems staged as the victim is way too calm during the whole event and these guys are all by themselves (no audience) Add to that the break in the actual beheading which is extremely rare and the last image of the beheaded corpse is a still and not video, again no crowd around the body. Orange jumpsuits? Clean pressed executioner?
Yup, tie his butt on top of a big fire ant mound in Texas. Pour pork fat and sugar water on him. Turn loose a hive of Africanized honey bees with a lawnmower engine running nearby. Sell tickets and make a ton of money. Not sarcasm.
Oh, I agree. Just clarifying this myth that in the UK, Muslim nutters get short prison terms.
I too agree that 25-40 years is a long sentence, except not long enough for beheading an innocent person.
