Terrorist dubbed Daesh Rapper arrested in Spain

After committing many crimes since he first joined the terrorist Daesh organization in 2013, one of Europe’s most wanted terrorists — known as the Daesh Rapper — has been arrested in a hideout in Spain.

Abdel-Majed Abdel-Bary and two unnamed associates were arrested Monday by Spanish police in the Mediterranean port city of Almeria after coordination with the UK domestic intelligence service MI5.

The MI5 had been attempting to track him since he left the UK to join ISIS in Syria in 2015.

Abdel-Bary is the son of Adel Abdel Bari, who has been accused of killing 224 people in various bomb attacks across Africa. Some believe he is linked to the terror cell that committed the Bataclan massacre in Paris in 2015.

He was known as “The Slaughter of John” by the nickname “Butcher or the Slaughter of Daesh”, after he joined the terrorist organization in 2013 in Raqqa, before he escaped to Turkey in 2015, and infiltrated illegally into Spanish territory.

During his life in West London, he practiced singing “rap” for a short period, as Lyricist Jinn and L Jinny, in a group called “The Black Triangle”.

His father, after years of going in and out of prison in Egypt, managed to gain a degree and become a respected human rights lawyer with ties to Amnesty International, Bari managed to leave the country and in 1991, the year Bary was born, he applied for political asylum in Britain.

His family joined him after it was granted, two years later.

According to the Guardian, he was arrested soon after the August 7, 1998 embassy bombings. “There was a dawn raid by British police in white contamination suits, brandishing truncheons and breaking down the front door. Ragaa and the children were traumatized.”

In September 2014, Bari was charged with conspiracy to murder and the use of weapons of mass destruction, among other counts, sentencing him to 25 years in prison.
