Terrorist Jihadi John Killed In US Strike On ISIS

The infamous terrorist known as Jihadi John has reportedly been killed in a US-led strike on ISIS in northern Syria.



His real name is Mohammed Emwazi, and he took part in the killings of American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, Japanese journalist Kenji Goto and other hostages, according to the Pentagon. British Prime Minister David Cameron described the airstrike that may have killed Emwazi as an act of self-defense as he awaited confirmation of the death. “It will be a strike at the heart” of ISIS, Cameron said, if Emwazi has been killed. “We always said we will do whatever is necessary to track down Emwazi and stop him taking the lives of others,” he said. While the Pentagon, in announcing the strike Thursday night, would not say definitively that Emwazi was killed, officials said authorities are confident he was. This was a mission of “persistent surveillance,” a senior U.S. official said, adding that authorities knew it was him when they took the shot.
