A British ISIS fighter who blew himself up in a suicide attack on Iraqi troops in Mosul has been identified as a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who the UK Government lobbied the US government for his release. Shipped back to Britain, the Tony Blair administration, continued his rehablitation programme with a $1.25 million compensation package.
The Labour government championed the release of the Manchester-born Muslim convert who claimed he was ‘mistakenly arrested’ along with the Taliban fighters, by coalition forces in Afghanistan. he told his interrogators he was a prisoner of the Taliban, rather than one of their fighters.
The ex-detainee thus paved the way for his huge pay day from the British Government before fleeing to fight for ISIS in Syria.
Monday, Jamal Al-Harith, born Ronald Fiddler before his conversion to Islam in 1992, was filmed driving a death car packed with explosives at an army position near the ISIS stronghold in Mosul, Syria.

In the cynical footage released by ISIS shows, three out of four death cars, one driven by British ISIS fighter Jamal Al-Harith, aka, Abu Zakariya al-Britani, are seen exploding near Mosul, Iraq.The depraved extremist cult released a statement claiming Monday’s attack, which was launched against a group of Shiite Muslims, had caused ‘many casualties’, according to reports from the SITE Intelligence Group.
A statement read: “The martyrdom-seeking brother Abu Zakariya al-Britani, may Allah accept him, detonated his explosives-laden vehicle on a headquarters of the Rafidhi army and its militias in Tal Kisum village, southwest of Mosul.”
The footage also shows another fighter cheerfully pointing to the camera and saying something in Arabic before he shuts the driver’s side door and pulls off.

Fiddler had been held in Guantanamo Bay after US troops captured him in Afghanistan, but he was released two years later at the insistence of the British government
