Mohammad Emwazi, the ISIS terrorist known as “Jihadi John” responsible for multiple beheading executions is on the run, from none other than ISIS itself, the British tabloid The Mirror reported on Friday.

The paper attributed the information to US intelligence sources and spoke to former friends who said they had no doubt Emwazi was the notorious masked executioner.

The newspaper reported that the British radical is on the run because he is afraid he is no longer valuable to the Islamic State group.

It is “jealous” jihadists who are after Emwazi’s wife and want him dead, the daily cites a report from Russian Federation Today.

A source told The Mirror that Emwazi’s fears were likely justified, predicting ISIL would drop him “like a stone or worse” if he became of no use to them.

Part of Emwazi’s appeal was his willingness, even enthusiasm in killing foreigners, decapitating them with a knife which he characteristically featured in various videos in which he is seen beside his victims.

“If anything, the less he is featured, the more impact he will have”, he says. “They tend to embrace their identity wholeheartedly and claim not to fear death, ‘” he said.

Regarding Jihadi John’s disappearance from the endless ISIS propaganda video, Mr Kaderbhai suggested it may indicate that ISIS have ‘nothing high profile to show off.’.

Rezgui, 23, was named by ISIS as the gunman who slaughtered 38 people – including 30 British tourists – when he opened fire on a beach at the popular Tunisian resort of Sousse last month.

The man, revealed earlier this year as Kuwait-born, UK-raised computer science graduate Mohammed Emwazi, 26, now fears he may meet the same fate as those he beheaded in a series of grotesque propaganda films for the extremist terrorist group. The 26-year-old, whose first ISIS video appearance was in August 2014, is typically dressed with a black wrap covering his entire face, with only his eyes peeking through.

The Brit left home to fight for ISIS and appeared in numerous execution videos, reportedly beheading the terror group’s western hostages James Foley, David Haines, Alan Henning, Peter Kassig and Stephen Sotloff.
