NHS doctor from East London may hold the key to identifying the jihadi who beheaded James Foley.

An NHS doctor from east London who was previously accused of kidnapping Western journalists in Syria may hold the key to identifying the jihadi who beheaded James Foley, intelligence sources have disclosed. Shajul Islam was arrested and charged with kidnapping a British journalist, John Cantlie, in 2012 but was released after his trial collapsed when Mr Cantlie was unable to give evidence.

He had always protested his innocence, saying he went to Syria to use his medical skills to treat victims of the civil war. His brother Razul, 21, also travelled to Syria and is believed to be fighting with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil), the terrorist group that murdered Mr Foley

Razul Islam is understood to be on a list of suspected British Jihadists whom the security services are comparing with the footage of Mr Foley’s killer, a British man known as “John” described as the leader of a British cell of jihadists known as “The Beatles”.

A former MI6 chief said the “long arm of justice” was closing in on “John” as the SAS was put on standby to capture him.

“What is it about being an NHS doctor that is appealing to these terrorists? Remember the whole failed-subway bombing-attempted Glasgow airport attack? NHS doctors.”

Rationality is not a hallmark of children of the devil. He has taken such captive to do his will which, at bottom is simply....MURDER!
