Indian-origin IS member poses with AK-47, newborn on Twitter

November 26, 2014 21:10

A 31-year-old Indian-origin Islamic State suspect, who is fighting in Syria, has posted a picture of himself on Twitter posing with an AK-47 rifle and his newborn baby.

Abu Rumaysah who was born as Siddhartha Dhar, posted the photo on Twitter this morning, proudly showcasing his pleasure that his son will grow up in the Islamic State, the Independent reported today.

He was arrested in September in the UK along with eight others on suspicion of encouraging terrorist offences. Dhar was released on bail to reappear in December but he fled. Less than 24 hours after he was released on bail, Dhar took a bus to Paris with his pregnant wife and four young children.

He travelled on to Syria before joining IS. Just hours after publicly declaring he had arrived in Syria, the wanted terror suspect made another surprising announcement on Twitter. He said that he had become a father to a baby boy.
