A report card detailing future ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's time as a schoolboy in Iraq has revealed the bloodthirsty Sunni extremist struggled with English and had to repeat his final year.
The Samarra High School for Boys certificate calls Baghdadi by his real name Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim, although it does not use his tribal suffix al-Badr.
Despite his progress in certain subjects, Baghdadi failed his final year in 1990 at the age of 18 or 19 and was forced to resit his exams.
Yesterday it emerged that Baghdadi was once a secretary working in office administration.
He was also remembered as a shy and unassuming young man who was interested in religious studies, before his radicalisation to a dangerous extremist.
