Abdul Rakib Amin: Who was the Aberdeen terrorist?

Abdul Rakib Amin – also known as Ruhul Amin – moved to Aberdeen from Bangladesh with his family when he was aged 10.

He attended the city’s Sunnybank Primary and St Machar Academy, with friends reporting that he was an avid Aberdeen Football Club fan.

After Amin completed his second year at the high school, his father moved him back to Bangladesh because – according to a friend – he was becoming “too westernised”.

Two years later, the teenager returned to the Granite City, and friends noticed he had changed, growing a beard and becoming more religious.

He and his family later moved to Leicester.

Amin hit the headlines in June last year when he featured in a chilling IS video alongside other jihadis from the UK

The original 13-minute film, There Is No Life Without Jihad, was posted by accounts linked to the murderous terror group.

Amin – who said he went online to learn about the terrorists – declared he was willing to die for the cause.

“I left with the intention not to go back, I’m going to stay and fight until the Khilafah (rule of Islam) is established or I die,” he said.

“I left the UK to fight for the sake of Allah to give everything I have for the sake of Allah.

“One of the happiest moments in my life was when the plane took off from Gatwick Airport, I was so happy, as a Moslem you cannot live in the country of Kuffars (non-believers).”

Prime Minister David Cameron announced yesterday that Ramin had been killed in an RAF drone strike on August 21 alongside Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan and another fighter.
