Reyaad Khan was, by all accounts, an intelligent and sensitive young man from Riverside, Cardiff. In a video acquired by The Guardian newspaper he voices concerns over “illegal wars” and warns that a lack of resources for deprived neighbourhoods such as his own, may lead some down the “wrong path”.
This was a prescient observation. He subsequently moved to Syria where he joined the so-called Islamic State (IS) and became the first British citizen to be killed in an RAF drone strike.
