Rachid Kassim is one of the world's most wanted men linked to a string of terror attacks in Europe
AN ISIS executioner has told how he finds beheading helpless prisoners a real 'pleasure ' but moans he really misses his 'wonderful' pet CAT.
In a chilling interview, Rachid Kassim said the saddest thing about fleeing his homeland of France to fight in Syria was leaving his moggy behind.
Brutish Kassim is one of the world's most wanted men linked to a string of terror attacks in Europe, including the murder of a Catholic priest near Normandy in France.
He is beleived to be involved in the slaughter of a policeman and his partner near Paris.
Kassim also appeared in a propaganda video for ISIS just six days after Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhel murdered 86 people in the July Nice terror attack, which took place in on Bastille Day.
He infamously praised the attack pledging more atrocities in France.
Kassim gave the on-the-record interview to Washington-based academic Amarnath Amarasingam, who researches jihadism, reports.

When asked how it had felt to behead a prisoner, he said: "To behead an animal, it would be difficult, with enemies of Allah, it is a pleasure."
Kassim revealed he skipped France after being placed under surveillance because of his radical views.
He said he took his wife and young daughter with him with just 1,500 Euros in his pocket.
"I thought of attacking France when I was there, and my family was afraid because of it," he said.
"The cops knew about me. Every time I went jogging, there were always two cops following me. Then they hide. It was ridiculous.
"We left everything behind. Especially my cat. I had a wonderful cat that I left in Gaziantep. It was one of the saddest things about my hijrah (migration to Syria)."
He also claimed any attempts made by western authorities to stop jihadists travelling to Syria would only result in more bloodshed.
"We believe that even a small attack in dar ul-kufr (non-Muslim lands) is better than a big attack in Syria," he said.
"As the door of hijrah closes, the door of jihad opens. If I stayed in dar ul-kufr, I would do an attack there."
