RAQQA, SYRIA —British Islamic State leader Mohammed Emwazi, also called Jihadi John, might have been killed in a U.S. airstrike in northern Syria on Thursday evening, Reuters reported.
According to the monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a car carrying four foreign Islamic State leaders, including one British Jihadi, had just left the Islamic Court in Raqqa, when a U.S. airstrike conducted by a drone hit it. Local sources said the four bodies were left burnt to pieces.
A total of 14 U.S. airstrikes were conducted in the area that night.
The Pentagon is evaluating the effectiveness of the strike and hasn’t confirmed yet that the British Jihadi is in fact Jihadi John.
According to the Telegraph, US officials are 99 percent sure he is dead.
Among the hostages Jihadi John murdered are U.S. journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.
