Breaking isis executioner jihadi john feared killed
According to reports, Jihadi John, also known as Mohammed Emwazi, a British-born ISIS executioner, is believed to have been killed in a US drone strike in Raqqa, Syria, in November 2015.
Emwazi, who was born in Kuwait to a Kuwaiti father and a Palestinian mother, was a key figure in ISIS's propaganda machine, appearing in several beheading videos, including those of American journalists James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and Peter Kassig, as well as British aid worker David Haines and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.
The US government confirmed that Emwazi was the target of the drone strike, which was carried out on November 12, 2015. The strike was reportedly carried out by a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, which fired a Hellfire missile at a vehicle in which Emwazi was traveling.
Emwazi's death was confirmed by British Prime Minister David Cameron, who said that the UK had received intelligence that Emwazi had been killed in the strike. The US government also confirmed the killing, with a senior administration official stating that Emwazi had been "neutralized" in the strike.
Emwazi's real name was Mohammed Emwazi, and he was born in 1988 in Kuwait. He moved to the UK with his family at a young age and grew up in London. He became radicalized and joined ISIS in 2012, eventually becoming one of the group's most prominent executioners.
Emwazi's killing was seen as a significant blow to ISIS's propaganda efforts, as he was one of the group's most recognizable and feared figures. His death was also seen as a major victory for the US and its allies in the fight against ISIS.
