Rezgui, 23, was named by ISIS as the gunman who slaughtered 38 people - including 30 British tourists - when he opened fire on a beach at the popular Tunisian resort of Sousse last month.
While Emwazi, 27, was named in reports as the face behind the masked ISIS executioner Jihadi John - who brutally beheaded UK aid workers Alan Henning and David Haines as well as three other American hostages.
A security source told The Sunday People: “It is chilling to think both these killers were at the same camp at the same time.”
The camp in Sabratha, close to the Tunisian border, is also said to have once housed the two gunman behind the slaughter of 20 people at the Bardo museum in Tunis in March.
It is believed the camp, some 40 miles away from the Libyan capital of Tripoli, was set up specifically to target Western tourists holidaying on the Mediterranean coast.
Libya is fast emerging as an ISIS stronghold, with their dreaded flag being raised over the city of Sirte just last week.
A source told The Sunday People: “Libya is a relatively safe place for IS to operate with impunity. Although we can monitor their activities from the air it is too dangerous to launch a strike operation which would require boots on the ground.
He added that Rezgui trained in Libya with Ansar al-Sharia - which has links to both ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Jihadi John was said to have fled to Libya in February after reports identified him as Emwazi, before allegedly returning to his base in the self-declared ISIS stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.
According to US spies, the masked executioner lost his “bogey man” persona the moment he was identified.
Jihadi John gained notoriety for appearing in graphic ISIS propaganda films, but he has not appeared online since January following the beheading of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.
Security chiefs believe jihadists plan to kill more tourists to mark the Islamic celebration of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power) - the holiest night of Ramadan - tomorrow.
Fanatics believe the event - the 27th day of Ramadan - marks the gates of heaven being opened for those waging jihad to enter paradise.
Extra flights from Tunisia back to the UK have been laid on over the weekend to help 3,000 British holidaymakers and 300 independent travellers return home.
