ISIS Confirms What US Already Said: Jihadi John Killed By Drone Strike

  • by: Alan Duke

The British terrorist known as Jihadi John, infamous for his threatening rants on ISIS execution videos, was killed by an drone strike in Syria, according to the latest issue of the terror group's magazine. It confirms what the U.S. military said in November, that a missile incinerated Mohammed Emwazi,a Kuwait-born British citizen, in November.

Emwazi, who was in his mid-20s, was identified as the masked man who spoke in a British accent and held a knife in the gruesome videos posted in Youtube starting in the summer of 2014.

IS magazine, which is a English-language ISIS propaganda tool, reports that he died instantly in the attack.
