Fears that 'taxpayer money used to fund ISIS' most wanted' spark demands for investigation

following his detention in Guantánamo Bay
Jamal al-Harith, who was given a £1million
compensation settlement from the Government
following a two-year stint in Guantánamo Bay, has
been linked to the UK’s most-wanted surviving ISIS
fighter, Raymond Matimba.
Matimba was exposed as a jihadi in a video obtained
by The Telegraph which showed him with Mohammed
Emazi who is better known as the sick terrorist killer
Jihadi John.
Al-Harith and Marimba were both part of a
Manchester-based terror group raising fears that the
out-of-court settlement was used to fund the senior
ISIS figure.

Demands for an investigation into whether the
Government money was used to bankroll the terror cell
has been demanded by security experts.
Former terrorism legislation reviewer Lord Carlile said:
“The revelations in The Telegraph raise questions
about what has happened to the millions of pounds
that was paid by the British Government in the
Guantánamo cases and the only way that can sensibly
be dealt with is by an independent review conducted
by a High Court judge.
“It
would
enable
us to
ascertain what happened to the funds. It looks like a
significant part of that money has funded terrorism
and terrorist organisations and that would be a matter
of grave concern.”
Stephen Gray, a former RAF serviceman and associate
of Al-Harith, travelled to Syria with Marimba who paid
for the journey, but questions about where he got the
money from have led to calls for an investigation.
Gray was arrested and sent to the UK where he was
jailed for terror offences while en route to Syria.

Marimba entered the war-torn country successfully
and is believed to have become a senior member of
the evil terror group.
The former RAF serviceman and Al-Harith met on a
2009 aid convoy to Gaza planned by George Galloway.

Al-Harith, who was born Ronald Fiddler before
changing his name on converting to Islam, spent two
years in Guantánamo after being arrested in
Afghanistan.
Six years after his 2004 release he was given a share
of a £20million compensation fund, which was shared
amongst 16 former detainees.
Following his compensation payout, Al-Harith travelled
to Syria through Turkey in 2014 where he died carrying
out a suicide attack against an Iraqi army base.
