If my son is Jihadi John, he should be executed, says dad

November 17, 2014 19:57

The father of a British medical student-turned-jihadist has said his son should face execution himself if he is proved to be a killer appearing in an Islamic State execution video alongside Jihadi John. Ahmed Muthana, said he fears his son, Nasser Muthana, is one of a gang of camouflaged Islamic State fighters who line up to behead Syrian military captives in a horrific video released over the weekend. Muthana, 57, said: "If that's what he has done to someone then that is what should be done to him."I am like any other father. I am trying not to believe it is my boy, but it looks like him. But I am not going to make excuses for him. He is a grown man and he must face up to what he has done."
