The father of a star medical student who appeared in a chilling ISIS
recruitment video and is in Syria with his younger brother says he
disowns his two sons.
Ahmed Muthana, 57 from Cardiff says that if Nasser Muthana and
17-year-old Aseel ever return to the UK, he would love to see them go to
jail.
His comments came as it was revealed his 20-year-old
son, was a key figure in a chilling recruitment video aimed at luring
jihadists to Iraq.
Muthana has been offered places to study medicine by four universities
and was due to begin his course last September. Instead he secretly made
his way to Syria from his family home in Cardiff with his 17-year-old
brother.
But their father, who said his sons had been 'brainwashed' after they
began worshipping at different mosques and grew beards explained: 'They
don't represent me now and I don't want to see them again.
'I would love to see them go to jail if they return to the UK alive, if they ever come back.'
Yesterday, to the horror of his relatives, Muthana bragged of fighting
for the Al Qaeda-inspired ISIS terror group. He appears alongside two
other young British jihadists in the 13-minute long, professionally shot
video, which was posted online yesterday.
Named in the video as ‘Abu Muthanna Al Yemeni’, he says: ‘We understand
no borders. We have participated in battles in Sham [Syria] and in a few
days we will go to Iraq and will fight them, and will even go to
Lebanon and Jordan, wherever our Sheikh [ISIS leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi] wants to send us.’
In a direct message to al-Baghdadi, he adds: ‘Send us, we are your sharp
arrows. Throw us at your enemies, wherever they may be.’
