November 15, 2015 15:48

Jihadi John, the dreaded Islamic State executioner killed in a US drone strike in Syria last week, reportedly fathered a son who is automatically entitled to British citizenship.

Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John, was "evaporated" by a Hellfire missile fired from a US Reaper drone after British intelligence analysts located him in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) headquarters of Raqqa.

Kuwait-born British citizen Jihadi John secretly fathered a son who is automatically entitled to British citizenship and could be brought to live in the UK, The Telegraph reported.

It has emerged that the Home Office will be powerless to stop Jihadi John's Syria-born son coming to live in Britain at some point in the future, the report said.

The identity and nationality of the boy's mother is not known, but Home Office rules make it clear that he is already regarded as British, stating, "British citizenship may descend to one generation born abroad. So a child born abroad to a parent who is British...will automatically be British by

descent."
