Dhar, who also goes by Abu Rumaysah, has been put on the U.S.’s global terrorism list, according to the Daily Mail.

“He is considered to have replaced ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi, also known as ‘Jihadi John’,” the U.S. State Department said the Daily Mail report. “Dhar is believed to be the masked leader who appeared in a January 2016 ISIS video of the execution of several prisoners ISIS accused of spying for the U.K.”

Dhar, a former Hindu who converted to Islam when he married his wife, Aisha.

He bolted for Syria in 2014 after being arrested in the U.K. for suspicion of belonging to Al-Muhajiroun, a banned group. He had just been released on bail — he’d handed over his passport — and was banned from traveling.

“What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to (ISIS),” he said in a Twitter post. The accompanying photo showed him holding his newborn son and and AK-47 rifle.

Before becoming ISIS’s hand of death, Dhar sold inflatable bouncy castles that are popular with kids’ birthday parties.
