The Islamic State executioner is a British of Kuwaiti origin

Beijing, February 28 (CNBC) -- According to the Voice of China's "News Evening Peak", the identity of the executioner who has appeared many times in the video of the beheading of the hostages of the extremist "Islamic State" and known as "Jihad John" has been confirmed a few days ago. Emwaz, who is from west London, is a British of Kuwaiti descent.

Dressed in black and masked, with only eyes and the bridge of his nose exposed, he wields a knife and threatens Western society with a fluent London accent, taunting U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, the image shown in the video by Emwaz. According to AFP, because of Emwaz's British accent, he was named after British Beatles lead singer John Lennon. Lennon's name was "John the Jihadist".

So, what kind of upbringing did Emwaz have, and why did he become a cold-blooded executioner of the Islamic State extremist group?

British media reported that the identity of this person has been determined, the original name is Mohammed? Born in Kuwait, Nwazi moved to the UK with his family at the age of 6 and has been living in London ever since, where his father was a taxi driver. Enwazi completed primary and secondary school in London and was admitted to the University of Westminster to study computer science.

In 2009, Nwazi reportedly traveled to Tanzania with several friends while graduating from university and announced that he was going to embark on a wilderness survival trip, but was denied entry by Tanzania because they were believed to be going to Somalia to participate in the somali youth party activities.

Enwazi was then repatriated to England via the Netherlands and was questioned in Amsterdam by Dutch and British security officials. After returning to London, Nwazi was considered a dangerous figure by British intelligence agencies and was repeatedly questioned by the security services.

According to the Washington Post, Emwaz went to Syria in 2012. Beginning in August 2014, the 26-year-old Emwaz first appeared in the eye after "Islamic State" militants killed American journalist James Ahmed. In Foley's video, and in a similar video that followed, he was suspected of killing multiple hostages.

After the identity of "John the Executioner" was exposed, the American journalist James? Welfare's parents say it doesn't matter to them to determine the identity of the executioner.

Welfare Mother: If we always hate each other and hurt each other, how can we achieve peace?

Welfare Father: Also because "John the Mujahideen" happens to be in that position, if it weren't for him, there would be other people who would kill Welfare, so discovering his identity may be important to some people, but it's not important to me.

The widow of Haynes, another British hostage, said she wanted to see the executioner captured alive and tried by civilization.

According to the relevant information disclosed so far, the "executioner" Emwaz was once a descendant of Kuwait living in a wealthy area of London, studying computer programming at a top university in the UK. His wish in his graduation message that year was to strive to become a footballer.

The young man, from a middle-class British family, is said to have undergone a major reversal in his life trajectory since 2007. MI5 noted during the year that the young man had joined al-Shabaab, a branch of al-Qaida, in London. According to Emwaz himself, the British Security Service had tried to recruit him and prevent him from traveling abroad, which led him to flee Britain and head to Syria without informing his family, the sources said. Human rights group spokesman Thomas S. Thompson. Johnson revealed to the media:

Thomas? Johnson: He actually wanted to go back to Kuwait, where he had a job, where his fiancée was, and the intelligence agency went to Kuwait and told his fiancée that this was not a person worth entrusting for life, and the wedding was ruined, and prevented him from leaving the country to work, so we have to ask why this person's right to return to Kuwait was denied? But allowed to go to Syria? The role of the intelligence services is somewhat confused.

After the identity of "John the Executioner" was exposed, the British security services were criticized by the outside world. British Prime Minister David Cameron defended the British security agencies on the 27th, cameron said that he would not comment on the case, but when someone anywhere in the world committed "shocking and heinous crimes" against British citizens, the British government will do its best to find these people and make them unable to commit crimes again.

The UK police are also reluctant to confirm anyone's identity or provide any information on the progress of the counter-terrorism investigation. In fact, the United Kingdom needs to reflect more on the fact that two days before the disclosure of Emwaz's identity, that is, on the 24th, the British police announced that three British female students in their 10s who were believed to be joining the Islamic State organization had entered Syria. There are no latest reports on the whereabouts of the three female students.

It should be emphasized that the new anti-terrorism bill released in the UK in November last year clearly stipulates that all types of schools should take feasible measures to avoid religious extremism of students, which may be the best reflection of the British government on avoiding similar incidents.
