The man shown in the video spoke with an English accent

                       

Police and security services are trying to identify a suspected British jihadist :

who appeared in footage of the killing of a US journalist.

Extremist group Islamic State (IS) published a video of the moments :

before and after James Foley was beheaded...

Reports suggest the man in the video - who had an English accent -

is from London or south-east England and may have guarded IS captives.

Since the footage was released :

American forces have carried out 14 air strikes 

targeting IS militants near the Mosul dam in northern Iraq. ................

MI5 is searching for a trio nicknamed 'the Beatles' : 

who were allegedly involved in James Foley's death
