ABDUL Raqib Amin transformed himself from an arrogant
teenager living in Aberdeen into a jihadist recruiting members for ISIS
as the terrorist organisation sweep across Iraq.
The man, in his 20s, was named as Abdul Raqib Amin, known as Raqib.
He appears holding a gun and urging other British Muslims to join ISIS in the video, called There is no Life Without Jihad.
Bangladeshi-born Raqib is referred to in the video as Brother Abu Bara’ al Hindi.
He says: “All my brothers living in the west, I know how you feel.
“When I used to live there, in the heart you feel depressed. The cure for the depression is jihad.”
One former acquaintance said Raqib had been an arrogant troublemaker as a youth and enjoyed clubbing and drinking.
It is understood he attended Sunnybank Primary and then St Machar Academy.
The source said no one he had spoken to could believe it when they saw Raqib in the chilling 13-minute propaganda video. The man, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, said: “He was around in Aberdeen. He was a bit arrogant.
