The Wire ^ | Aug 20 , 2014 | Polly Mosendz

The tall British executioner was clad in all black and is wearing a facemask, however, sources within Britain are already starting to identify him. He is the allegedly the leader of a group of British ISIL fighters in Syria. He is known, thus far, only as "John." A former hostage of these fighters identified him to The Guardian as the head guard in Raqqa. One of his former hostages described him as "intelligent, educated and a devout believer in radical Islamic teachings." He was born in the United Kingdom.

“....The militant who appeared on the Foley video, who called himself John and is believed to be from London, was said to be the main rebel negotiator during talks earlier this year to release 11 Islamic State hostages – who were eventually handed to Turkish officials after ransom demands were met.

The FBI, MI5 and Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command were all on Wednesday night racing to identify the militant who fronted the propaganda video that showed the brutal murder of Foley, the journalist who had been missing in Syria since 2012.

Sources in Syria recognised the man as a point-man for hostage negotiations in Raqqa, where he is said to have held discussions with several families of jailed foreign nationals over the internet.

One former hostage, who was held for a year in Raqqa, told the Guardian the British executioner is intelligent, educated and a devout believer in radical Islamic teachings. The three UK-born militants were referred to as “the Beatles” by fellow hostages because of their nationality, the former captive added.”.........”

“.........The masked Islamic State militant known as “John” who beheaded an American journalist and threatened the life of another in a horrific video is one of three British-born killers who are referred to as “the Beatles” by their hostages, the Guardian reported.

John is apparently a jihadist executioner and leader in the Syrian city Raqqa, a stronghold for ISIS, known for being “intelligent, educated and a devout believer in radical Islamic teachings,” according to the Guardian. The threesome got their nickname because of their shared nationality with the legendary band..”

Agreed, find him, kill him, bring whatever is left of his body back to London. Hang him, wrapped in Pork fat in Westminster with a note tied to his carcass:

“This is the fate of all ISIS and radical Muslims in this country”

Natural born Limey though he may be, he needs to die without trial, and his head needs to be FedExed (on dry ice) to the UN High Commissioner of Whatever.

Find him. Kill him. Born the corpse. Put the ashes in the landfill.

Then go do the same in every mosque in England.

Since he is British, have the SAS and SBS ghost him. I’m sure most of the people in the Regiment and the ShakyBoats would absolutely love to get their hands on the sot!

All countries need to STOP calling these people their citizens . They are NOT BRITS , nor Americans .

Once they take this step , they lose all such definition , which they never earned or deserved int he first place .
