An Indian-origin ISIS terrorist, believed to be the masked man in ISIS’ latest video who has been dubbed “new Jehadi John”, is ready to die for the terror group, his sister has said.
london-based Konika Dhar had received a message from her brother Siddhartha Dhar, also known as Abu Rumaysah, last year after he had skipped bail and fled the UK with his pregnant wife and four children saying, “I’m prepared for death”.
In a phone-call in October last year, he said, “Focus on the hereafter and don’t worry”. Konika told The Sunday Times, “I told him from the very beginning when he arrived in Syria and made contact that I would love him to return home and live in our house with his family.” But he said he cannot return because he believed that he would be arrested.
While the identity of Dhar as the masked man in a recent ISIS video threatening terrorist strikes on Britain has not been confirmed by security services, his sister has spoken of her fears that it may be her brother. She pleaded with British Prime Minister David Cameron not to use drones to try to kill her brother because she believes he has been brainwashed.
