Report: London Rapper Key Suspect in Beheading of James Foley

Sunday, Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin said both American and British intelligence officials suspect a British-born rapper is the jihadist seen on video beheading journalist James Foley.

“A senior Western intelligence official told Fox News that 23-year-old London rapper Abdel Majed Abdel Bary is the suspect believed to be Foley’s executioner,” she said. “U.S. intelligence officials are not commenting publicly on the reports, but a well-placed source told Fox News that Bary’s Egyptian-born father was extradited from London to the United States in 2012 for his alleged connection to Osama bin Laden and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa.”
