Jihadi John Still Has His Bank Account

Mohammed Emwazi does not feature on any of the asset freezing orders issued by the Government

The Telegraph: Jihadi John keeps his bank account after Treasury freezes assets of only a handful of Islamic terrorists

Official report shows just £50,000 frozen in accounts used by extremists fuelling criticism of Government over its failure to crack down on terror financiers

Only six out of more than 600 British jihadists have had their bank accounts frozen under special terror laws, according to an official report.

The review also shows just £50,000 worth of assets was frozen in bank accounts opened by terror suspects operating in the UK. The amount was branded “remarkably low” by David Anderson QC, the Government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation and author of the new study.

Update: ‘Jihadi John’ still has access to British bank account: ‘Incomprehensible’ -- Washington Times

WNU Editor: To say that this is incomprehensible is an understatement. A part of me likes to believe that the UK government is monitoring his account to find any potential leads .... but for some reason my gut is telling me that they are not. One thing that I have learned about life is that if you want to hurt the enemy .... hurt them where it counts .... their pocketbook. Unfortunately .... this is a lesson that has not been learned in Britain (and I would hazard a guess .... elsewhere in the West).
