webfact Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 US airstrike targets 'Jihadi John' from IS slaying videosLOLITA BALDOR, Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. drone strike targeted a vehicle in Syria believed to be transporting the masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John" on Thursday, according to American officials. Whether the strike killed the British man who appears in several videos depicting the beheadings of Western hostages was not known, officials said.Mohammed Emwazi was the target of an airstrike in Raqqa, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in a statement. Officials were assessing the results of the strike, he said.A U.S. official told The Associated Press that a drone had targeted a vehicle in which Emwazi was believed to be traveling. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.Emwazi has been described by a former hostage as a bloodthirsty psychopath who enjoyed threatening Western hostages. Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa, who had been held in Syria for more than six months after his abduction in September 2013, said Emwazi would explain precisely how the militants would carry out a beheading.Among those beheaded by Islamic State militants in videos posted online since August 2014 were U.S. journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.-- (c) Associated Press 2015-11-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I seem to recall a report a few months back that stated Jihadi John had escaped ISIS and was on the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdenner Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just a thought: Hopefully he wasn't killed but subject to long term, severe pain and suffering to a point where we see if he has the balls to cut off his own head to relieve the misery. No virgins for suicidal fruit loops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm sure that now he's frolicking in the company of 72 virgin goats.... Muslims who kill are not considered following islam. Therefore no virgins for him in the afterlife. Have you socialised with muslims, interracted with them? Im only asking as it is obvious you do not know about islam.

Until those of his faith socially outcast those who support violence and terrorism there will be no piece. Now come on, The Koran says that violence and what we call terrorism, against unbelievers, is quite halal as long as it is done defensively. And Islam has a very broad definition of defensively.
