The child soldier who has threatened the UK with new atrocities in a chilling ISIS execution video is the son of a notorious jihadi bride from London, according to her own father.
The six-year-old boy's own grandfather has now confirmed he is the son of Grace 'Khadijah' Dare, who grew up in Lewisham, south London, to Nigerian Christian parents and converted to Islam as a teenager.
Her father Henry Dare, also known as Sunday, has said that his grandson is 'definitely' the boy in the ISIS video.
Mr Dare, a minicab driver, told the Telegraph: 'I was surprised when I saw the picture. It's definitely him. Of course I'm worried but there's nothing I can do now
'I'm not angry - I would never have expected it. I just hope someone is trying to bring them back.'
Mr Dare, who is also known as Sunday, begged his daughter to return to Britain. He said: 'She should come back and face the music. Because, she has let herself down,'
When asked about his grandson Isa, Mr Dare said: 'He doesn't know anything. He's a small boy.They are just using him as a shield.' Mr Dare revealed that he had not spoken to his daughter for 'weeks'.
'When she calls me I keep on ignoring her calls because she has brought shame to my family and to herself,'
In 2014, Khadijah Dare, one of her many post-conversion pseudonyms, posted a shocking photograph to her Twitter account of her then four-year-old son Isa, meaning 'Jesus', smiling as he aims an AK-47 rifle
She is married to a Swedish Islamic fighter called Abu Bakr, and is a convert who previously attended a mosque in South London
Isa also has at least one younger sibling, a boy who would now be between two and three years old, who his mother has referred to as a 'mini mujahid', or holy warrior.
A strikingly similar appearance between Isa and the young boy in the video sparked speculation earlier today. Many pointed to a distinctive facial mole and said both had the same shaped eyes.
Dare is believed to have been radicalised online before she started attending the Lewisham Islamic Centre, where Drummer Lee Rigby's murderers are said to have worshipped, although the mosque denies they were part of the congregation.
