We now have a statement from the Pittsburgh Pirates on the first adult photo of 26-year-old ‘Jihadi John’ wearing the team’s hat. John’s real name is Mohammed Emwazi and the Pirates are obviously angry in his hat choice.
From CBS Pittsburgh:
“The classic gold P stands for Pittsburgh and is worn by our players, coaches and fans with a great sense of pride. It is absolutely sickening to everyone within the Pirates organization, and to our great fans, to see this murderer wearing a Pirates cap in this old photo.”
According to Sky News, Jihadi John was a computer programmer after graduating from the University of Westminster and left for Syria in 2013.
