(Sky News) The synagogue killer, Jihad al Shamie, radicalised himself after searching online for videos of the Islamic State terror group, according to a friend.
The man, Qas, said al Shamie “started using [encrypted messaging app] Telegram and searching for ISIS videos.
“Once, he even tried to show me one at the shisha lounge. I told him to go away and asked how he even got access to that content, and he said it was through Telegram. After that, I didn’t see him for a long time until I heard what had happened.”
Another friend, Asim, told Sky News he met al Shamie through their shared interest in computers. He said he noticed a difference in al Shamie a year ago.
