‘Jihadi John’s’ e-mails revealed

“The release includes mentions of his (Independent Police Complaints Commission) complaint, his efforts to discover why he was unable to travel back to Kuwait to start a new life amongst other details.”

Writing to the advocacy group’s research director, Asim Qureshi, Emwazi began with his altercations at a UK airport, making impassioned allegations about his treatment by UK security officials and intelligence. CNN was unable to obtain a statement from the MI5, the British intelligence agency.

“Towards the end of this long interview (with the police), I told them that I want to be left alone, as I have an ambition of moving from the UK and settling in Kuwait. That is why I found a job and a spouse!! But they laughed,” Emwazi wrote in the first email on June 3, 2010.

“One of them got aggressive with me, he pushed me to the wall. … I was just baffled I did not know why he had done that after this long 6hour interview, fingerprinting and searching. When I asked for their names they said ‘We don’t give out our names.'”

But Rashad Ali, director at the counterextremism consultancy CENTRI and a fellow of the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, told CNN, “You can’t start the story at how he’s been treated by UK officials. You certainly can’t start the story from the email trail.

“Rather, fearing that one day, I’ll take as many pills as I can so that I can sleep for ever!! I just want to get away from these people!!!”

“Like many young Muslim men at the time, he appeared to have a grievance,” Verkaik wrote in the Daily Mail.

“But this man was different — in him was a warped sense of injustice that could never justify the barbaric acts of murder that he has gone on to carry out in Syria.”

Ali said he would only describe Emwazi as a victim of radicalization. “The only side I would say he’s a victim of is the same way I would say anybody is a victim of: Islamist ideology and its extremist spectrum. These individuals have embraced a belief system that has resulted in their horrific acts of violence and terrorism.”
