Growing up alongside 'Jihadi John'

Allan Hennessy grew up on the same council estate, and attended the same mosque, as Mohammed Emwazi, who is also known as the militant Jihadi John.

Unlike Emwazi, Mr Hennessy went on to study law at Cambridge and works as a journalist.

He looks at what makes young Muslims become radicalised, citing unemployment, bad education and Islamophobia sparked by terrorism fears.
