But, for 25-year-old Thomas Evans from Buckinghamshire, the moment captured on camera of him greeting fanatical al-Shabaab fighters was to be one of his last. Just hours later the terrorist was killed in a savage gun battle that left at least a dozen fighters dead. Newly-obtained footage shows the intense fighting that ended in Evans’ death last weekend. He was filmed during a raid on a military base in Lamu County, on Kenya’s northern coast. The dramatic film captures the moment Evans falls to the ground after being hit by a bullet.
Thomas Evans (Muslim name: Abdul Hakim) a young boy from a Christian home turned to Islam in 2010, he became radicalized after leaving a local mosque to a hardline praying centre. In a camera found on the body of Thomas and also second in command, and also the cameraman of the group shows insight into the role of the Briton in an attack that saw 70 peoplekilled a year earlier.
