New video has surfaced of British rapper-turned-suspected extremist "Jihadi John" in which the young man rails against police during the 2011 north London riots.
"Jihadi John," or Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, was an up-and-coming rapper in London鈥檚 "grime" music scene before he left the United Kingdom last year reportedly to fight with Islamic militants in Syria.
from Australia鈥檚 9 News, Bary cuts in on a reporter鈥檚 interview with an eyewitness to the rioting, which followed the deadly police shooting of a 29-year-old father of four.
"Let me tell you something. I was there for three hours, ya?" Bary says to the reporter, describing a bus fire.
"The police are protecting the police station, not the people," he goes on to say.
He then accuses the police of wanting the fire to grow and spread so 鈥渢he damage can look massive, innit?
"That鈥檚 all it is."
The reporter looks on with a bemused expression.
Bary, 24, is one of the prime suspects in the beheading of journalist James Foley.
In the months leading up to Foley鈥檚 death in August, Bary had posted several pictures of himself dressed in fatigues and carrying high-powered weapons. He posted a photograph to Instagram of himself holding up a severed head.
Authorities have been working to identify the militants seen on the video of Foley鈥檚 beheading, and those of Steven Sotloff, David Haines, Alan Henning and Peter Kassig.
Bary鈥檚 father, Adel Abdul Bary, pleaded guilty in federal court in New York of helping to plan the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. More than 200 people died in those attacks.
