Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary: Beheading of James Foley clues point to British rapper? [View all]

A British rapper is a suspect in the beheading of American journalist James Foley. Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 24, posted a picture of himself holding a severed head a few weeks back and it is now believed he could be the man all dressed in black with his face covered beheading Foley on that video, according to TMZ on Aug. 23.

Reports indicate that “John the Beatle,” is a nickname that former ISIS hostages dubbed Bary because of his British accent. This is a guy whose rap songs were played on BBC radio. Bary was raised in a million dollar home that was owned by Maida Vale council.

This rapper’s father, Adel Abdul Bary, is a high-profile Al Qaeda terror suspect. He was accused of masterminding the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in East Africa. He was extradited to the U.S. in 2012 to face the allegations of masterminding those bombings, according to the Canada Journal today.

One of the former ISIS hostages said that Foley’s killer was a leader of a group that consists of four British Jihadists. The group is known to the ISIS as “The Beatles” and they are said to be the men who guard the foreign hostages. These men with the British accents are considered the main guards for the hostages coming from a foreign country.
