Most wanted British terrorist hired martial arts thug to protect him while he is plotting terror attacks

One of Britain’s “most wanted terrorists” had a martial arts expert as a bodyguard after sneaking back to Europe, it is claimed.

Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 29, was arrested in Spain with two Algerians – Kossaila Chollouha and a helper, sources say.

Chollouha is known to be an expert fist fighter and personal protection specialist.

All three had apparently ghosted into Almeria in south-east Spain and rented an apartment.

Spanish security sources claim Chollouha was there to ensure Abdel Bary was protected while possibly plotting terror attacks.

It is said the third man, Abdeizerrak Seddiki, 28, was the only Spanish speaker and may have acted as a logistics aide. All three are being held in Madrid.

A British military intelligence expert said: “Logistical help and protection in a sleeper cell could make this a very organised and highly dangerous group.

“Islamic State is likely to have a few in Europe.”

The men were seized last month amid fears Abdel Bary wanted to launch attacks, possibly in the UK. The ex-rapper, who vanished from Syria five years ago, had gained 6st and was only identified by the distinctive shape of his ears.

The ex-Londoner was previously photographed holding a severed head in Raqqa, Syria, when it was the HQ of Isis. He was described as Britain’s most-wanted jihadist.

Britain has stripped Egyptian-born Bary of his citizenship.
