My jihadi son should be executed: Father of UK Islamic State fanatic 'who was part of ISIS death squad' that beheaded 17 Syrian soldiers disowns him after video

The British medical student suspected of involvement in an Islamic State death squad should face execution himself, his father said yesterday.

Nasser Muthana, 20, deserved to die because it would be a ‘head for a head’.

The 20-year-old from Cardiff is thought to be part of an Islamic State ‘foreign legion’ of at least 16 jihadis who were filmed beheading Syrian soldiers in the desert.

As David Cameron last night claimed the ‘sick terrorists’ of IS must face the ‘justice they deserve’ including charges of treason, Muthana’s father Ahmed said he would disown his son if he is involved.

The former electrical engineer, 57, told the Mail: ‘What they are doing is inhuman, this is not the son I brought up.

‘I cannot have him back. No father wants to disown their children but I have no choice.’

Speaking from his home in Wales, Mr Muthana said: ‘I am like any other father. I am trying not to believe it is my boy, but it looks like him.

‘If that’s what he has done to someone then that is what should be done to him. A head for a head. I am not going to make excuses for him. He is a grown man and he must face up to what he has done.’ 

Nasser Muthana, who appeared in a recruitment video for IS in June, has also been joined in Syria by his younger brother Aseel, 17.
