The two gunmen who carried out ISIS’ first terror attack on American soil are feared to have been groomed online by a Syria-based British jihadi who was once jailed for stealing Tony Blair’s personal details.
Just hours before the shooting in Garland, Texas took place, a Twitter account understood to belong to gunman Elton Simpson, 31, demanded readers follow a second account controlled by a notorious ISIS fighter who uses the nom de guerre Abu Hussain al-Britani.
That man is known to be Junaid Hussain, 21 – a former computer hacker turned jihadi who joined ISIS after fleeing his home city of Birmingham in 2013.
And within minutes of the first bullets being fired and while details of the attack were still vague, Hussain posted messages praising the gunmen as Muslim ‘brothers’ and revealed their target had been a exhibition where artists were drawing pictures of the Prophet Mohammed.
The digital connection between Simpson and Hussain raises the chilling prospect that the Briton may well have known about the Texas terror attack in advance.
