LONDON — Islamic State executioner Mohammed Emwazi, identified as the militant known as "Jihadi John," was deported from Tanzania in 2009 for being drunk and abusive, the BBC reports.
Tanzanian authorities deny Emwazi's claim that they were informed by British security officials, or any other country, that he planned to travel there, according to the broadcaster.
After graduating from the University of Westminster in London in 2009, Emwazi, 26, traveled to Tanzania for a safari with friends, but he was detained by authorities and taken to a police station, stripped to his underwear and held in a cell for 24 hours, according to a case file released by CAGE, a British-based group that assists people who claim they are targeted by security officials.
Emwazi was put on a flight to Amsterdam, where he is reported to have said that security officials interrogated him about suspicions he was trying to join al-Shabab militants in Somalia, before returning to the United Kingdom.
Tanzania's Immigration commissioner Abdullah Khamis Abdullah told the BBC that Emwazi was drunk on the flight to the country and that other passengers had complained about his behavior.
He said after arriving at the airport Emwazi "tried to force his way in" and added: "He said, 'Give me the permit to the country ... you are nothing here, you're just rubbish.'
"We didn't get any order or whatever from any country or any organization to stop Emwazi," Abdullah said.
One of the police officers who arrested Emwazi, whom the BBC did not name because he wanted his identity protected, told the broadcaster that Emwazi was taken to cells at the airport and left to sober up. He said Emwazi was not touched, harmed or tortured.
A custody record written in Kiswahili and dated May 23, 2009, asks that Emwazi and two friends "be detained after they refused to return back to Amsterdam using KLM 569 after being refused entry to the country," the BBC reported.
On Sunday, a leaked draft of a strategy document from Britain's Home Office said that radical Islamists could be banned from working with children unsupervised, the Sunday Times reported.
The draft document, which includes proposals including a review of Sharia courts, ensuring applicants for citizenship embrace "British values," and penalties to make people on welfare learn English, warns that the government needs to be "more assertive" in challenging extremism, according to the paper.
