The world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online

 Abu Talib and Muhammad ibn Muazzam, both in their mid-20s, and a German friend travelling with them, allege they were threatened with beatings by members of Tanzania's security forces. After being refused entry to Tanzania they were returned to the Netherlands, where they say they were questioned by MI5 agents who accused them of having links to Islamic extremists. 

 The terrorist apparently studied computer sciences at Westminister University. The Washington Post describes Emwazi as Kuwaiti born and in his mid-20s. He was apparently raised in a middle class neighbourhood in north London and occasionally prayed at a mosque in Greenwich. Friends told the Post that Emwazi began to radicalise after a planned safari to Tanzania following his graduation from Westminster.
Emwazi and two friends were arrested in Dar-es-Salaam in May 2009 and then deported. He then flew to Amsterdam where he apparently claimed an officer from MI5 accused him of trying to join al-Shabaab.
One of Emwazi’s close friends who identified him told the Post
