FBI says IS executioner in beheading videos identified: report
English.news.cn

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) believes that it has identified the masked Islamic State (IS) militant who has been videotaped beheading Western hostages, FBI Director James Comey said on Thursday.

But Comey declined to reveal the man's name or nationality, local media ABC News reported.

The masked, black clad militant, with a British accent, killed two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and a British aid worker, David Haines, in videos released by the terrorist group that has controlled large swaths of Syria and Iraq.

In the three clips, the suspect holds a long knife and appears to begin cutting the captives. The militant -- who speaks with a southern English accent -- shows only his eyes in all three videos.

From the footage, the executioner appears to be left-handed and of average height and build.

The FBI director also said that more than 100 Americans in total had either managed to reach Syria, had been arrested while trying to travel there, or had gone and returned, the report said.

Comey indicated that terrorists in Syria may still be plotting attacks on the West, and there was no sign yet that U.S. airstrikes this week had disrupted the group's plans.

Only three comments:

1. What is the Religion of those 'hundreds of USA citizens' who tried to go or went to Syria?

2. Keep a close eye on those who returned. Each of them will produce 100 more volunteers.

3. Why are they and their families still USA citizens?

Incidentally, what happened to the USA citizen trying to swim to N.Korea? Americans have the right to know names and faces of their 'patriots'.

Wasn't he named the other week? Daddy's locked up in USA

Any idea what for?

Just for being a daddy or did he contribute his own good for the country?

What about mom? Siblings who went to the same brainwashing institution?

Look, do not make me an enemy of your state for asking unpleasant questions.

And do not pull the Human Rights on me either.

There is a tomahawk missile or a drone with his name on it. Sooner or later they will get him.

They may be plotting attacks, good one keep the fear going and hope it is enough to justify the strikes.

But unfortunately the air strikes have had no impact on the groups plans which may or may not exist.

A large cross section of the American public are the ones living in fear.

They wake up every day and are bombarded with more fear from the government, the media & and even the people around them.

Because of the actions of their government, Americans can not even feel relaxed when traveling anywhere in the world these days.

They have to be constantly on guard, and very vigilant in their every move, for they fear that they could be the next person

Is it all worth it in the end?

Only you can answer that question.

The US citizen who swam to Korea is was sentenced to 6 years in a labor camp. His sentence began a couple of days ago. This according to an article in the UK Daily Mail.

There are two different idiots.

The one just sentenced tore up his visa upon arrival and requested amnesty, or some such silly thing.

Haven't heard anything recent about the idiot that tried to swim to North Korea.

We in the UK are allays in virtually everything the USA does and we're proud to do so without fear of reprisals given that we need face adversity. Otherwise, succumb to furor of others who think its their birthright to try domineer us in any which they choose. We can never bow down to terrorists ...................
