News media story

'Jihadi John' named as London man 


The masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John", who has been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named.

He is Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man in his mid-20s from west London, who was previously known to British security services.

British police declined to comment, citing ongoing investigations.

Emwazi first appeared in a video last August, when he apparently killed the US journalist James Foley.

This was primarily found because of the videos that he has been sighted in, if it was not for the videos and the fact that the videos went viral, the news a wouldn't be able to identify this man.
