The man who became the Islamic State militant known as “Jihadi John” was a relatively hardworking student who showed no signs of being radicalized, his former school principal said Monday.
Jo Shuter, former head teacher at Quintin Kynaston Academy in London, told the BBC that Mohammed Emwazi was a “hardworking and aspirational young man” when she knew him as a teenager.

Two other former students from the same school were also thought to have gone to fight in Syria and Somalia.
