Jihadi John dead?

by Jonn Lilyea••31

Jihadi John

Ex-PH2 sends us a link to Reuters which reports that the British Defence folks and the US Department of Defense are claiming that they’ve lauched an air attack that got the fellow known as Jihadi John;

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the death of Mohammed Emwazi, who was known as Jihadi John after appearing in videos showing the killings of U.S. and British hostages, could not yet be confirmed and the Pentagon said it was still assessing the effectiveness of the strike.

But a U.S. official said Thursday’s attack in the town of Raqqa, Islamic State’s de facto capital, probably killed Emwazi and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, quoted sources in Raqqa as saying he had been blown to pieces.

“A car carrying four foreign Islamic State leaders, including one British Jihadi was hit by U.S. air strikes right after the governorate building in Raqqa city,” Rami Abdulrahman, Director of the UK-based Observatory told Reuters.

The US Defense Department says that they’re pretty sure that this fellow has assumed room temperature, so good. I’m glad he’s dead, however, I’m not sure how effective this strategy of spending thousands of dollars to hunt one personality is for the governments involved in this war against ISIS. They admit that the good news of killing one person only lasts as long as it takes for the next guy in line to step up. If they wanted to prevent that from happening, it seems more cost effective to kill them all in one huge airstrike, or a series of airstrikes that knocks the fight out of them all. These pin-prick attacks don’t seem to be having much of an effect. Except for our own propaganda machines.

    2. HELL IS TO COLD FOR HIS ASS…If he is dead his family WILL NOT CLAIM THE LITTLE FRAGMENTS OF THE BODY. I believe in reincarnation and I hope he comes back as the most vile creature who is hunted for 24/7 and is killed over and over in the most heinous way possible. It’s the movie of the fellow who lives each day over and over that made me think if anyone deserves to its Johnny Boy.
      I really don’t think England is going to want him buried in their country.

  6. Jihadi John isn’t gone. He’s right there.

    And over there.

    And up there in the tree.

    And on that roof over there.

  7. Like Jonn and most of you, I am glad he is dead.

    I hope they get a good DNA sample so they can connect the dots later!

    2. DNA is so advanced now and even if they only have a pound of bones and flesh, I hope each piece belongs to the heart, pancreas or a organ he can’t live without. Since the asshole doesn’t have a brain, we’ll rule that out first.

  11. Good. I preferred that cockroach got waterboarded for a few weeks first before meeting his end. Unfortunately, in the big scheme of things he was only a Spec-4 in ISIS, and will be easily replaced.

  16. Somethingawful.com has the best obit:

    Burial services for Jihadi John will be held Friday at an unmarked hole on the outskirts of Raqqa. Attendees to the funeral are asked to bring IR reflective clothing easily visible on satellite imagery. You are asked not to bring children to the funeral, although if you can’t find a sitter, that’s okay. No big deal.

  19. One minute he’s shopping for orange jump suits for his victims….. the next minute temperatures in his immediate AO are 10K degrees Fahrenheit and climbing. Rot in HELL!!

    1. To be a fly on the inside of his tent as they bring in the 72 year old virgin, with skin so white, her blue veins shining through. As she smiles to her beloved, I hope she brushed her two teeth. Oh, to be a fly ?

    1. We love that program. Some say it is just an advert for Shrillery. I argue that it embarasses Shrillery because the CHARACTER actually accomplishes things, has a history of doing things (CIA etc) and is a pleasant person. Also good looking. Also the “President” has balls.

    2. I like this part, from the article that follows ‘Madame Secretary’.

      “Thus a CIA veteran with long experience hunting Osama bin Laden and trying to outmaneuver ISIS, speaking privately, tells The Daily Beast, “Everybody is going to respond to this thing with solidarity, tying little ribbons on trees and that sort of bullshit,” when what’s needed, in his position is, “to drive a stake in their heart.”

      How would you do that?”
