* Londoner Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary could be Jihadi George, expert says
* Bary believed to be part of ISIS hostage-taking cell known as the 'Beatles'
* He may have travelled to Syria with Jihadi John - Mohammed Emwazi
* The terrorists lived just streets away from each other in west London
* Bary was a rising talent in London's hip-hop scene before he fled country
* Previously thought to be Jihadi John because of his similar facial features
A London rapper who fled to Syria could be Jihadi George - the second of the ISIS hostage-taking cell known as 'The Beatles'.
Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary slipped out of Britain to join the barbaric extremists in 2013 and may have done so alongside Mohammed Emwazi, who was unmasked as Jihadi John earlier this week.
Bary, dubbed the 'hip-hop jihadist', and Emwazi grew up just streets apart in west London and one expert last night claimed it made sense for both men to be part of the sick 'Beatles' kidnap group.
The two militants are believed to know each other and it is possible that Bary is one of the captors known as George, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Released hostages have previously revealed that their kidnappers were known as the Beatles because of their British accents.
Haras Rafiq, managing director of the Quilliam Foundation, a counter-extremism think tank, said: 'It would make sense that Bary could well be George.'
The security services long-suspected that Emwazi was not the only Briton among the terrorist group.
Bary was a rising talent in London's hip-hop scene - performing under the name L Jinny - before leaving his parents' £1million home in Maida Vale to fight in Syria.

“The Beatles”
I object strenuously to this attempt to trash the name of a band that was extremely tallented, by naming a terrorist cell with the same name.
Someone should be horse-whipped for even trying this.
I wonder who owns the rights to the name these days?
The Animals would be better.
bttt
Good question. Whoever it is, I wish they’d step forward and protect it.
Seems to me a group whose songs are play as much as this groups are today some fifty years later, should get some respect on issues like this.
Thank you Genoa.
Would be more fitting I suppose, but even then I just don’t agree with naming a vile group the name of a group that was tame and positive or at least neutral.
Who is the 3rd jihad Beatle - Ringo or Paul?
I agree with the comments under the article at the Daily Mail. The paper should be ashamed that its running articles like this. These are monsters. Who cares what music they liked. Stop making up cute nicknames for them.
The walrus was Paul.
“The Animals would be better.”
And I think The Buttwarts” would be more fitting!
