Jihadi John loved S Club 7 and wanted to play for Man Utd
Published in Albawaba on 27 - 02 - 2015

A photograph of Emwazi as a grinning schoolboy has emerged as well as school reports he wrote as a 10-year-old claiming "I will be in a football team and scoring a goal" by the time he turned 30.
Instead the Islamic State (IS) monster became the world's most wanted man after executing Brit aid workers David Haines, 44 and Alan Henning, 47, US journalists James Foley, 40 and Steven Sotloff, 31, American aid worker Peter Kassig, Japanese reporter Kenji Goto, 47 and a number of Syrian soldiers.
But the murderer was just like every other young kid growing up dreaming of becoming a footballer and listening to pop group S Club 7.
In a school report he said his favourite team was Manchester United and even said it was his ambition to one day score a goal for a premiersip club.
But somehow the regular boy-next-door became a terrorist killer.
An school photo of Emwazi has been published today by The Sun and Daily Mail.
It has emerged he attended Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in St John's Wood where he reportedly would have studied alongside pop star Tulisa.
Jihadi John's identity was confirmed by two US government sources yesterday.
Dragana Haines - widow of murdered David Haines – said she wants the terrorist found alive, telling the BBC the "last thing" she wants for the man who killed her husband is an "honourable death".
Father-of-two Mr Haines was snatched by IS militants while helping refugees at a camp in Syria, near the Turkish border.
His daughter Bethany told ITV News yesterday that the families of all of the terror executioner's victims will only feel closure and relief when "there is a bullet between his eyes".
A spokesman for the family of Mr Sotloff said: "We want to sit in a courtroom, watch him sentenced and see him sent to a supermax prison."
