Jihadi John 'dead': US officials believe Mohammed Emwazi was killed by Raqqa drone strike

Officials have said they are '99 per cent' sure the Isis militant was killed in a drone strike in Raqqa

American defence officials have said they are almost certain they have killed the British militant known as Jihadi John in a drone strike.

Mohammed Emwazi, who appeared in a series of gory propaganda videos showing the beheading of foreign journalists and aid workers last year, was targeted in the Isis stronghold of Raqqa last night.

There has been no official confirmation of his death but a senior military official told Fox News the US was "99 per cent sure we got him", while a Pentagon source told the BBC there was "a high degree of certainty" that Emwazi was killed.

Another official speaking to ABC News described the air strike that as a “flawless” and “clean hit” that “evaporated” Emwazi without killing civilians.

Activists from anti-Isis group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said a drone targeted the car Emwazi was travelling in near the Islamic Court, which enforces the group’s interpretation of Sharia law, in the city centre.

A Facebook post said the first explosion hit at around 11.41pm local time (9.41pm GMT) and that around a dozen more air strikes were counted before midnight.

A senior US military source told the BBC Emwazi had been ”tracked carefully over a period of time“ and that there is a “high degree of certainty” that the mission was a success.

At least one other person is believed to have in the car when it was hit.

The Pentagon has confirmed the air strike but said it would not formally announce the result until it had been fully assessed.

A spokesperson for Downing Street said: "We are aware of the US statement about the airstrike targeting Mohammed Emwazi. Like them, we are not commenting further at this stage."

That applies to all religions.

But is it justice, in the true sense? Seems to me, someone makes the decision...no due process ...slippery slope, if you ask me.

And all that resources and effort to kill him after he killed innocent people. But not a single finger was lifted to save these innocents before they got executed by him...

They're going around Syria trying to set up a new state and forcing everyone to behave according to their rules, and this waste of oxygen was clearly a member of the group. Legitimate target in a war, tbh.
 
1%. Don't like the odds , these types are slippier than snot.

Can we just make 100% sure he is dead?

Did Mr J John apply the same rigorous process you describe when he committed his acts?

Do unto others, man.

Well aware what the bastards are up to....just stating, no oversight in any system leads to abuse.

Was thinking more of Karmic justice, true he didn't get a trial but he was a legitimate military target in a war zone...shrug.

There is due process - permission is needed within the military hierarchy - if I remember correctly, if Congress feels that it was not a legitimate kill, then people can be held to account.
