'Dead' red-beard jihadi could be 'heading brutal ISIS rampage in Libya'

Al-Shishini – who is believed to be one of world’s most wanted terrorists – was reportedly killed in an airstrike in 2014.

But according to local intelligence, the ginger Georgian arrived in the ISIS stronghold of Sirte in a 14 armed vehicle convoy on Monday night.

Warped ISIS commanders and jihadi Brits have been fleeing Syria to Libya as airstrikes rain in from the US and Russia.

Omar Hussain, nicknamed the Supermarket Jihadi because he was once a security guard at Morrisons in High Wycombe, is also believed to have travelled to Libya.

He issued a war cry on social media for people to "be part of those who build the Khilafah [caliphate] with skulls, bones and blood”.

Al-Shishini is notorious for leading a brutal regime in northern Syria and the depraved group is continuing its trail of destruction in the Libyan city.

Grisly punishments were handed out to two people in Sirte with one facing execution and the other to have his limbs chopped off, according to a local news source who also claimed were also made that two of the commanders reading out the names had "red-beards”.

A number of suspected spies were arrested and then publicly hanged in recent weeks by ISIS.

In November 2014, the leader of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, posted an image allegedly showing Tarkhan Batirashvili – who branded himself Omar al-Shishani – on Instagram.

According to the Russian news agency Itar-Tass, the image was captioned: "Tarkhan Batirashvili, the enemy of Islam who called himself Omar al-Shishani, was killed.

He said in 2014: ”The same fate awaits anyone who even thinks about threatening Russia and the Chechen people."

Al-Shishini was jailed in 2010 for illegally harbouring weapons in Georgia.

He was reportedly released in 2012 after serving 16 months, when he immediately left the country.
