LONDON Bridge ringleader Khuram Butt enjoys a night out with pals in photos taken years before he launched his depraved attack.

The 27-year-old is all smiles for the camera as he poses with a group of lads during his clubbing days.

The warped killer would years later join with Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba to form the deadly terror trio that killed eight in Saturday's massacre.

Sickened former school pals have told the Daily Star Butt would regularly go out drinking and clubbing as he was a huge rap and grime fan.

The photos show the pouting jihadist making "gangster" signs to the camera while dressed in jeans and T-shirts with his hair braided.

One friend who attended Rokeby School in Stratford, East London, said: "I just can't believe what he has done. He used to out drinking and clubbing.

"It's really hypocritical that he attacked people for doing what he used to do."

The depraved monster was shot dead by armed police on Saturday after being part of a gang that rammed a van into pedestrians before stabbing revellers on the streets.

He slipped through the security net despite being watched by MI5 and 1.2million people in Channel 4 documentary The Jihadis Next Door.

Butt - also known as Abz - was filmed praying with a black ISIS flag.

He and his fellow fanatics were filmed during a clash with police after targeting moderate Muslims in London outside Regent’s Park mosque.

The twisted jihadist had a young family and worked at KFC before it is understood he got a job on the London Underground as a customer services assistant in May 2016.

He had links to hate preachers including Mohammed Shamsuddin, 40 — seen with him in the documentary that was screened in January last year.

Butt worshipped another — Anjem Choudary.

He was also linked to bile-spewing Abu Haleema — seen in the documentary gloating with Shamsuddin over an ISIS beheading video.

Shamsuddin joked: “The guy is foaming at the mouth, you know what I mean. Wow.”

Bus driver Haleema cooed: “That’s HD quality, bruv.”

Arsenal fan Butt was also linked to 7/7 bomber Mohammed Siddique Khan, one of four men who killed 52 people on London’s transport network in 2005.

Arsenal footie fan Butt lived with his wife, two kids and his mother in Barking, East London — eight miles from the scene of Saturday’s atrocity.
