TWO extremists who appeared in a video with the ringleader of the London Bridge terror rampage were once caught on camera laughing as they watched men being murdered in a gruesome ISIS flick.

Mohammed Shamsuddin and London bus driver Abu Haleema giggled as they ate and watched the footage of victims having their heads blown off and being drowned in a swimming pool.

Londoner Abu Rumaysah - branded ‘Jihadi Sid’ - is suspected of being the masked fanatic waving a pistol at the camera in the gruesome video showing the murder of five men.

At the time, the two men ran an extremist Islamist group in London which looked up to Rumaysah and also counted one of the weekend's killers among its ranks.

In the Channel 4 documentary The Jihadis Next Door shown last year, Shamsuddin was seen praying with a group of followers including one of the London attackers in Regent’s Park under a black flag.

Haleema was not thought to be there.

Shamsuddin told his followers: "The Sharia is coming to the UK – this black flag you see here one day is gonna be on 10 Downing Street."

Minutes later, the pair were shown in a vicious confrontation with police who had received a tip-off about the flag.

After an ugly standoff, they were detained for an hour – but the flag was never discovered.

Shamsuddin later told the filmmakers: "Our message is deadly, we are calling for world domination, and for Sharia for the UK."

The documentary then goes on to show the clip of Shamsuddin and Haleema being shown the execution video.

However, rather than being shocked they seem to find the sickening clip funny.

Shamsuddin laughs: "The guy is foaming at his mouth, you know what I mean. Wow."

Haleema added: "That’s a HD quality bruv, 4k."

Shamsuddin, who has publicly hailed his support for ISIS, has also called for Sharia law in the UK and made chilling warnings about a ‘backlash’ by British Muslims.

He is a disciple of Omar Bakri Mohammed – the Tottenham Ayatollah – and his successor Anjem Choudary.

He has been at the forefront of Islamist protests over the past decade, and openly admitted preaching a message of ‘world domination’.

Before escaping to the Middle East while on bail two years ago, Rumaysah - a former bouncy castle salesman - was filmed denouncing the Queen.

The extremist, who was born a Hindu named Siddhartha Dhar, was filmed at the start of the documentary at his lock-up which was strewn with ISIS flags.

He said to camera: "One day when the Sharia comes, you will see this black flag everywhere…

"If you look at the way that society is moving on right now, you can see that it’s a very real, real possibility, the way Muslims are coming forward in this country."

Earlier this year, there were calls for YouTube to ban sermons by Haleema after he called members of Birmingham's Muslim community “cowards”.

There is no suggestion Shamsuddin or Haleema are connected to Saturday’s attack.
