Does this NHS doctor hold the key to identifying 'Jihadi John

An NHS doctor previously accused of kidnapping journalists in Syria could help identify the British jihadi who murdered James Foley, MI5 and MI6 sources revealed today.

Shajul Islam was alleged to have been a ‘key figure’ in a militant group that abducted foreign nationals, but the case collapsed.

The pair were held at gunpoint, shackled and blindfolded, and told to prepare to ‘meet their maker’ after straying into a terror camp while covering the civil war in Syria in 2012.

But a year later Islam and his alleged accomplice, fellow British resident Jubayer Chowdhury, walked free after prosecutors said the victims were unable to give evidence.
