The video, released on December 3, shows the man with a British accent directing the execution after describing Prime Minister David Cameron as an “imbecile” for dropping bombs on Syria. Burnham said in parliament.

Dhar tweeted after fleeing to Syria: “What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State”. He joined ISIS in the city of Al-Raqqah and appeared in a video carrying his newborn baby, his fourth son, with one hand and a rifle with the other.
It formed part of a series of blunders by police while monitoring Mr Rumaysah, formerly known as Siddhartha Dhar, a convert from Hinduism who had already declared his intention to join Islamic State. “It is also clearly a propaganda tool, and should be treated as such”.
Dahr’s sister said she can’t be sure the masked man is her brother.
The Government’s independent reviewer of anti-terror legislation, David Anderson QC, told the BBC: ” I stress that I can’t confirm that this is Siddhartha Dhar or not, but if we assume for a moment that it is, what is unusual about this case is that he managed to make that journey despite being subject to the criminal justice process, despite having been arrested and placed under police bail”. What’s known about him?
“From hearing the audio, it did sound how I remembered hearing my brother… but in terms of physique…” She said she would “kill him” if the masked executioner was indeed him.
“I cried and I was like, ‘oh my God what is he doing?’ I’m just going to strangle him when I see him, but this is assuming it is him”. She, however, declined to say whether she had ordered an inquiry into the security lapse.
May, who refused to comment on speculation about the identity of the English-accented militant in the Islamic State video, said Britain had tightened exit controls and that the decision on whether to place a suspect on police bail was an operational matter.
“I was in a state of shock”, she told BBC.
“I am not taking it as he is my grandson to be in that situation”.
“Naturally it is my grandson, but this is not what God gave me”.
“She (Khadijah) should come back and face the music because she has left herself down”.
“That joy is taken away from me which is very devastating”.
“If I was born in a stable, you know, I’m not going to be a horse”.
Isa’s grandfather Sunday Dare, 59, told The Sun his daughter was raised in a Christian family and would go to church up to three times a week without fail.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said he would be speaking with the Metropolitan Police about allegations that Rumaysah had been able to leave the United Kingdom for Syria after being released on bail.

“But this is an organization that’s losing territory, it’s losing ground, it’s, I think, increasingly losing anybody’s sympathy, and this again shows what an appalling organization we’re up against”, he added.
