He grew up in Ladbroke Grove ^, a stone's throw from some of the British capital's most affluent zones. It's being reported that other Islamic terrorists have also emerged from the same neighborhood. Emwazi had been on England's M15 terrorist radar for years before he started starring in IS videos.
Some people commenting to the latest news stories are attempting to rationalize his actions -- on the basis that he was discriminated against when he went on holiday with some Muslim friends overseas several years ago, and that he changed a lot after he was denied travel to Jordan to marry a bride due to travel restrictions against him for suspected terrorist ties, and that he got hit in the head sometime in junior school, etc... Some people are idiots.
