Aberdeen’s Moslem community has been left totally shocked by the revelation that a former school pupil from the city has joined the ISIS militant group in Iraq.
One local business owner said: “When he lived in Aberdeen there was no indication that this would happen, he was a decent young man.
“It was after he moved to Leicester that he changed.”
A man who lived in the area said: “I’m shocked, totally shocked.
“I remember this boy, he was not a religious boy. I would be meeting he and his father in the mosque. I remember his father used to drag him to the mosque.”
