British jihadist: Reyaad Khan, 20, a former student from Cardiff, has boasted of preparing for 'martyrdom'
Among a series of vile postings are pictures of beheadings, a fighter holding a severed head by his hair, mass executions and corpses.
In his latest tweet, Khan wrote: ‘Spent the day with 2 German brothers waiting 2 do martyrdom ops. The waiting list is so long, we got fireworks for US when they return.’
Significantly, he yesterday tweeted a picture of the door of a US vehicle – supporting claims that Islamic State had captured American military hardware and weapons that belonged to retreating Iraqi forces.
Monitoring of Islamic State’s communications has picked up English being spoken near the captured northern city of Mosul.
Khan’s claims will also give weight to the belief that Britons have crossed from Syria into Iraq to join foreign fighters besieging tens of thousands stranded in the Sinjar mountains.
Officials fear the militants could now be planning an offensive in the Kurdish city of Irbil – just 25 miles from Islamic State front lines – as well as suicide attacks against Americans.
