British ISIS fighter who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Jihadi John

Islamic State's social media channels have been flooded with the news and chilling tributes to Ikrima al-Nomani who they say died in battle in the western region of Kalamoon.

The tyrant who was among 16 ISIS militants seen beheading soldiers in the Syrian desert has previously been named as Nasser Muthana, a 20-year-old former medical student from Cardiff.

Released in November 2014, the harrowing video also featured a masked Mohammed Emwazi - notoriously known as Jihadi John - who issued a chilling threat to the West before severing the head of aid worker Peter Kassig. 

An earlier scene showed the graphic mass murder of Syrian Air Force personnel who were marched single file to a desert location by uniformed Jihadis.

They forced their captives to kneel before they picked up sharp daggers and sawed off the heads of their victims.

As militants stood in a row with their hostages kneeling in front of them, Jihadi John threatened U.S. President Barack Obama who he referred to as 'the dog of Rome'.

He said: 'Today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar [Al Assad, the Syrian President] and tomorrow we will be slaughtering your soldiers.' 

Muthana's father has previously said his son should be executed if he was involved in the beheadings.

57-year-old Ahmed Muthana said he had disowned his son Nasser, adding: 'I am like any other father. I am trying not to believe it is my boy but it looks like him.

'But I am not going to make excuses for him. He is a grown man and he must face up to what he has done.'
