Two major donors to campaign group Cage have pulled funding in protest at the organisation's apparent defence of the Islamist militant Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John.
The Charity Commission revealed it had taken "robust action" to demand that the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Roddick Foundation would cease all current and future donations to the group.
The west London man named as Islamic State killer "Jihadi John" claimed he had been warned five years ago that MI5 would be keeping a "close eye" on him, the Guardian reports.
In transcripts of Mohammed Emwazi's first interview with advocacy group Cage, the former Westminster student said an MI5 handler told him, despite claims to the contrary: "I still believe you are going to Somalia to train."
According to the report, Emwazi also said the agent "threatened" him, and claimed: “We are going to keep a close eye on you, Mohammed, and we already have been … We are going to keep a close eye on you.”
He also said he was asked his views on the 7 July and 11 September terror attacks on London and New York, and claimed he had replied that they were "wrong", adding: "If I had the opportunity, would I make those lives come back? I would make those lives come back."
It is unclear whether the claims made in the interview are true.
Lawyers for Mohammed Emwazi's father have told ITV News there's no evidence his son is IS killer 'Jihadi John' as "his face is covered".
Newly released audio recording of Mohamed Emwazi, aka "Jihadi John", reveals his claims that he was threatened by MI5 five years ago.
"I really think that the focus of your outrage should be people who throw gay men off cliffs", said London Mayor, Boris Johnson.
