Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary has reportedly been identified the ISIS militant who beheaded American journalist James Foley in a video released this week.
Reports over the last several days had indicated that British intelligence forces were focusing in on the 23-year-old former London resident, who had achieved some fame in the UK for his rap career. Sources say that Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary left his familys upscale home in London last year to join ISIS.
Bary is believed to have traveled to Syria, and recently tweeted a picture of himself holding a severed head.
Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary had a somewhat successful rap career, with some of his songs earning play on BBC radio. In early songs he made references to drug use and violence, as well as the threat of his family being deported to Egypt. His father, Adel Abdul Bary, was extradited from Britain to the United States on charges of terrorism in 2012 and was believed to be a close lieutenant of Osama bin Laden.

Some of his lesser known songs include "I Left My Extraordinarily Rendered Heart in San Francisco" and the edgy "Oh Fuck, I'm About to Die".

Growing up rich, he felt he was a victim of western oppression by non-believing infidels who want to subjugate innocent shahids.
I'm just assuming.
