“He was completely radicalized and supported the extremist ideology. I tried to reason with him,” a source told the BBC.

“When I asked him how he got into this … he said that he attended the sermons of the radical British preacher Anjem Choudary in London. He said he met him during the sermons.”

Mohamed grew up in the United Kingdom and was educated there.

Outrage erupted when Choudary — one of the U.K.’s most notorious hate preachers — was sprung from jail after serving just three years of a five-and-a-half year sentence.

He was convicted in 2016 for his role as an ISIS cheerleader and encouraging young Muslims to sign up for suicide bombings.

Choudary’s extremist group, al-Muhajiroun, was banned following terror attacks in London.
