The family of the latest Briton to be identified in a Jihadist recruitment video say he's "an innocent boy" who's been brainwashed. Reyaad Khan, who's twenty and comes from Cardiff, appears in a film thought to have been made by the group ISIS in Syria, appealing for other Muslims to join him. It also features another young British muslim from Cardiff, 20-year-old Nasser Muthana, whose 17-year-old brother Aseel is thought to be in Syria too. Khan was described to 5 live's Mark Hutchings as "pleasant, very ambitious and very strict in Islam" by a friend. He went on to say "He would take his religion a bit extreme and the organisation he has joined has brainwashed him". The father of Nasser and Aseel also explained how his wife had a nervous breakdown when she was told they had joined the extremist group. This clip is from World Cup Breakfast, 23 June 2014.
