Islamic State video suspect thought to be Briton Siddhartha Dhar
4 January 2016 UK
The chief suspect in the latest propaganda video by so-called Islamic State (IS) is thought to be British man Siddhartha Dhar, the BBC understands.
Mr Dhar is the focus for the security services' study of the video, which purports to show the killing of five men who IS says were spying for the UK.
"A lot of people think it is him," a source told the BBC, although there has been no official confirmation.
Mr Dhar - also known as Abu Rumaysah - is a Muslim convert from east London.
He was arrested in 2014 but later jumped bail before making his way to Syria.
