After circulation of video footage related to the decapitation of the American journalist James Foley, British intelligence reportedly centred on three suspects who might be the militant in the footage dubbed "Jihadi John", putting a knife to Foley's throat and later on boasting of having undertaken his beheading.

Abdel Bary attained considerable notoriety as he emerged as a prime suspect in the hunt for "Jihadi John", but in February 2015, it was reported that the executioner was Londoner Mohammed Emwazi.

During his ISIS activities, Bary posed with a severed head and declared war on the West.
