Remarkable secret footage has emerged showing four of Britain’s most notorious jihadis together for the first time.
The group, which includes ISIS executioner Jihadi John, can be seen casually chatting in a coffee shop in Raqqa, the group’s de-facto capital in Syria.
Alongside ‘John’, whose real name was Mohammed Emwazi, is Junaid Hussain – the man who converted and radicalised another of Britain’s most notorious Islamist fanatics, Sally Jones, also known as the White Widow.
Reyaad Khan, believed to be one of ISIS’s most potent recruiters, and Raymond Matimba, a sniper for the group, are also shown in the footage.
In the video – which was recorded with a camera phone hidden under a coat – the ISIS fighters can be seen speaking calmly in a Syrian cafe popular with British fanatics. Pictured from left: Junaid Hussain, Mohammed Emwazi and Reyaad Khan

The exceptionally rare film was secretly recorded on a mobile phone hidden under a coat and released to The Telegraph.
Emwazi, see in the centre, was born in Kuwait but raised in west London, where he was reported to have enjoyed a typical childhood and schooling.
ISIS claims he was radicalised some time in 2005, after the London bombings, before making several trips to the Middle East over the next few years.
It is thought he left the UK for good in 2013 when he travelled to Syria and joined forces with ISIS.
There he became part of the infamous terror cell known as ‘The Beatles’, because it was comprised of four men who all spoke in British accents.
Emwazi took on the role as ISIS’s executioner-in-chief, beheading British and American captives before the footage was uploaded online.
Just a few weeks before the footage was captured in this cafe, he is thought to have killed fellow Britons David Haines and Alan Henning.
He was killed by a US airstrike in Raqqa in 2015 as he left a building to get into a car.
Hussain, seen on the left, also went under the name Abu Hussain al-Britani. He was born in Birmingham to Pakistani parents in 1994.
He gained notoriety in 2012 as part of hacker group Team Poison after he manged to steal and release the address book of former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
For that, Hussain was jailed for six months before ending up back in police custody the following year on suspicion of violent disorder, before being bailed.
To the cameraman’s left is Junaid Hussain, known as the murderous organisation’s hacking expert and as the husband of the terrorist Sally Jones. He was killed in a drone strike on Raqqa in August 2015

Shortly afterward he fled to Syria alongside new wife Sally Jones, a mother-of-one and former singer in a punk band who he converted to radical Islam.
Once in Syria he became a potent terror recruiter and is believed to have helped plan attacks in Europe and the US, alongside Jones.
Hussain was killed in 2015 at a petrol station in Raqqa by a US airstrike while occupying the number 3 spot on America’s ‘kill list’ – behind only ISIS spiritual leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Emwazi.
Khan was born and raised in Cardiff, and before falling into the hands of jihadi recruiters was a straight-A student who dreamed of becoming Britain’s first Asian Prime Minister.
But he turned his back on that life in 2013 when he fled to Syria, where he is thought to have worked with Hussain to orchestrate terror plots in the UK and allied nations.
He was also very active on social media which he used as a recruiting tool, posting pictures of bloodied corpses and joking ‘does anyone want to sponsor my suicide belt?’
Khan featured in a prominent ISIS recruiting video alongside friends Nasser Muthana, also from Cardiff, and Abdul Raqib Amin, from Aberdeen, in which they encouraged other young people to join the fight in Syria.
He was killed in an RAF drone strike in Syria in 2015, marking the first time an RAF drone was used to attack a British national in a country in which it is not at war.
Raymond Matimba’s role in ISIS is less clear. He lived for a time in Manchester before moving to Barcelona in 2014, before he travelled to Turkey and on to Syria.
Friends confirmed he had made it to Raqqa where he adopted the name of Abu Qaqa Britani Afro.

He sent several pictures back home posing with AK47 rifles, and one can be seen beside him in the new footage.
Family say Matimba kept them updated on his whereabouts until some point in 2016, when he stopped responding.
He was previously reported as having been killed during the conflict, but his death has never been confirmed.
In the video, these four men can be seen chatting casually as they sit or lie in armchairs while charging their phones.
Their topics of conversation include banal topics such as bank accounts, though this was not always the case.
According to the Telegraph’s source, who the paper did not name, the cafe was a haunt for Europeans who had decided to abandon their old lives in the West and take up the call of jihad.
From 2013 when ISIS captured the city, until recently when it came under siege from US-backed SDF forces, the source said discussions in the cafe ranged from where in Europe to attack next, to the best methods for killing as many people as possible.
Back in 2015 the source said he heard French and Belgian jihadis discussing methods of attack, just months before the attacks on Paris and Brussels which left hundreds of innocents dead.
The source was only able to release the information recently after his home was recaptured by the SDF.
