DEVELOPING – The Pentagon said late Thursday it had launched an airstrike in Syria targeting "Jihadi John", a British national seen in videos depicting the beheading of hostages held by ISIS.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook confirmed that the airstrike in Raqqa was directed at the notorious militant, also known as Mohamed Emwazi. It was not immediately clear whether Emwazi died in the airstrike, but a senior U.S. military official told Fox News, "we are 99 percent sure we got him." The Pentagon was monitoring the aftermath of the strike before making a definitive announcement.
A senior U.S. defense official told Fox News that a drone was used in the airstrike. According to a senior military source, the drone had been tracking Emwazi for most of the day Thursday while he met with other people. The source said the strike took place shortly after Emwazi came out of a building in Raqqa, when he was "ID'd and engaged."

Mohammad Emwazi, the ISIS terrorist known as “Jihadi John” responsible for multiple beheading executions is on the run, from none other than ISIS itself, the British tabloid The Mirror reported on Friday.
According to the report, Emwazi is terrified by the publicity after he was identified as the murderer of British and American hostages and fears being hunted down.
Emwazi is a Kuwaiti born Londoner who emigrated to Britain in 1988 at the age of six. He has murdered multiple foreign journalists, including two Americans, Steven Sotloff and James Foley.
A former ISIS translator told Sky News in March that Emwazi was then seen as the Islamic State group’s chief executioner and was both feared and respected in the organization.
But now, according to the report, Emwazi is believed to fear that his unmasking identification by the foreign media has “diminished his value as an ISIS killer and that jealous fellow jihadists might plot against him.”

‘Jihadi John’ unmasked?
‘Jihadi John’ really needs the death penalty . Unfortunately, Brittan banned the death penalty in 1998.
WAPO: ‘Jihadi John’: Islamic State killer is identified as Londoner Mohammed Emwazi LONDON — The world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.
But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming. He is believed to have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State, the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.
“I have no doubt that Mohammed is Jihadi John,” said one of Emwazi’s close friends who identified him in an interview with The Washington Post. “He was like a brother to me. . . . I am sure it is him.”
