Target List Of British Islamic State Jihadis

Mohammed Emwazi was at the top of a list of British jihadis believed to be in the sights of intelligence services for either fighting on the ground or being a part of Islamic State's so-called cyber army.

Among the others either killed or still being hunted by the authorities are:

:: Reyaad Khan

The 21-year-old from Cardiff was killed in an RAF drone strike on 21 August, 2015.

He was said to part of a jihadi internet warfare cell and to present a "clear and present danger" and was the target of the strike.

He is believed to have travelled to Syria in late 2013.

Khan appeared in an IS video in June 2014, wearing a headscarf and armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and called for Westerners to fight in Iraq and Syria.

:: Ruhul Amin

Amin was killed in the same precision strike as Khan.

The 26-year-old, who was born in Bangladesh but raised in Aberdeen, also appeared alongside Khan in the 13-minute video and was known to also be actively encouraging people to join IS.

:: Junaid Hussain

Hussain was killed three days later by a US drone strike near Raqqa, the "Caliphate's" capital.

The 21-year-old hacker-turned-jihadist from Birmingham ran the IS information and recruitment arm from Syria.

He was identified by the US Secret Service as a top-five target for elimination by drone strike.

Hussain and Khan were thought to have been actively involved in orchestrating a number of plots to attack high-profile public commemorations.

One of the planned attacks, uncovered by a Sky News investigation, was aimed at August’s VJ Day celebrations in London.

:: Sally-Anne Jones

The 46-year-old from Birmingham is Hussain’s widow.

A former punk from Chatham, Kent, she travelled to Syria with her husband and has been actively dealing with female IS-supporting jihadists.

She uses her Twitter account to recruit women to the terrorist organisation and has provided practical advice on how to travel to Syria.

:: Nasser Muthana

The 21-year-old medical student from Cardiff travelled to Syria in November 2013.

He went to school with Khan and is one of several radicalised Brits fighting for Islamic State.

He appeared in the video alongside his schoolmate and Amin.

His father Ahmed Muthana told Sky News he believes his son was radicalised in a mosque in the UK.

:: Aseel Muthana

The 18-year-old from Cardiff travelled to Syria in February 2014 to join his older brother.

The siblings are on a United Nations sanctions list whose assets have been frozen and are also on international no-fly lists.

The move aims to deter potential recruits from joining IS.

:: Aqsa Mahmood

The former private schoolgirl turned jihadi-bride went to Syria in November 2013 to marry a terrorist and is actively recruiting women to join IS.

The 21-year-old from Glasgow travelled through Turkey to Aleppo, and is believed to be working for the al Khanssaa brigade which enforces Sharia law.

She has also reportedly worked to encourage terrorist acts via Twitter under the name Umm Layth.

:: Omar Hussain

The 28-year-old former supermarket security guard from High Wycombe travelled to Syria to join IS last year.

He too has been using his presence online to actively encouraging the "next generation" of IS recruits to join the terror group in both combat and operational roles.

In August 2014, he told British media he would only return to the UK to “plant a bomb”.
