Ex-PH2 sends us a link to Reuters<\/a> 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;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
