BRUSSELS Airport bomber Najim Laachraoui tortured Brits Alan Henning and David Haines in a Syrian jail before their beheading, it has been revealed.

Mohammed Emwazi, AKA Jihadi John, beheaded Scottish humanitarian worker Haines, 44, in September, 2014

 The Moroccan-born monster played sick mind games with them, blithely threatening "death tomorrow" while staging mock executions in their underground cell.   French hostages held with Haines and Henning but released by ISIS identified the suicide bomber as "Abou Idriss" who taunted them as they awaited their fate.Operating alongside him was Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, the cut-throat killer known as 'Jihadi John'.

Emwazi killed Manchester cabbie turned aid driver Alan Henning, 47, a month later

Laachraoui, 24, and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, 29, blew themselves up at Zaventem terminal in March, killing 16 innocents an hour before another 16 were slaughtered on the Brussels Metro.

Daily newspaper Le Parisien quoted intelligence sources saying Laachraoui was the chief interrogator in Syria. French journalist Nicolas Henin, held by ISIS from June 2013 for 10 months, formally identified Laachraoui as a prison guard Idriss, his lawyer said.

 The freelance writer - dubbed 'Baldy' by Emwazi - has previously told how all the Westerners beheaded on grisly propaganda videos suffered childish torture.

 The mock executions were staged with a gun to the head or with an antique sword or chloroform, while they were starved for up to four days at a time. Emwazi decapitated Scottish humanitarian worker Haines, 44, in September, 2014, and Manchester cabbie turned aid driver Henning, 47, a month later. The warped 27-year-old was wiped-out by a US drone six months ago.

Najim Laachraoui was one of the three bombers behind the attacks in Belgium in March that left 32 dead and 340 injured

 Laachraoui was an engineering science university dropout believed to be behind the makings of the bombs for the Brussels atrocity and the Paris attacks that left 130 dead in November.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun from his home in Ajdir, northern Morocco, Najim Laacharoui's uncle Mohamed said: 'He has brought shame to all our family'

 The Belgian national worked at Brussels Airport for five years until 2012, after which he headed to Syria to join ISIS. Fellow Syria jailer Mehdi Nemmouche is facing trial for the killing of four people at a Belgian Jewish museum in 2014.


Yesterday The Sun revealed how Laachraoui's uncle Mohamed Laachraoui, 59, wept from his home in Ajdir, northern Morocco as he explained: “He has brought shame to all our family.”

The family was convinced he had been killed shortly after he fled to Syria from Belgium. In an exclusive interview Mohamed said: “None of us can understand this. His family loved him and we don’t know exactly what led him to become a terrorist but we are convinced someone brainwashed him.

“Najim’s mother Radia, though, suffered a lot and fell sick because of this terrible news, she could not believe it. “Everybody were talking about the family and labeling us as terrorists.

“My brother Driss tried to reason with him and return from Syria to his family in Belgium, but Najim insisted he should go and fight with his brothers in the name of Allah for Islam.

“We never imagined that the smiley little boy I once knew would come back all the way to Europe and blow himself up and kill all these innocent people."
