Jihadi John on film: New video unearthed of ISIS executioner as a shy teenager playing football with his school friends
Mohammed Emwazi, who was identified last week as the Islamist fanatic filmed beheading hostages in Syria (inset), was captured on camera as he was chosen by a classmate to join his team for a game of lunchtime football (left and right). The footage, which is the first time any moving image has been obtained of Emwazi, was shot in the playground of Qunitin Kynaston Academy, the secondary school in north London where Emwazi was educated. In the film, the 'football mad' teenager, thought to be around 15 at the time, is the second boy to be chosen for the team. One of the school boys can clearly be heard shouting 'Emwazi', beckoning over the clearly-visible future jihadi. But he also appears to be painfully shy, instantly raising his arm to cover his face whenever he knew the camera was focusing on him.
