ABC News ^ | Nov 12, 2015 | Brian Ross

The ISIS terrorist dubbed "Jihadi John", who oversaw the brutal executions of American and Western hostages, was hit by a U.S. air strike Thursday night and is believed to have been killed, U.S. officials told ABC News.

One official said the jihadist, Mohammed Emwazi, was thought to be hit as he left a building in Raqqa, Syria, and entered a vehicle. The official called it a "flawless" and “clean hit” with no collateral damage and that Emwazi basically "evaporated."

We’re letting in hundreds of thousands into Europe. Why bother killing them?

Obama had better get Jihadi John before the Russians capture and interrogate him.

the money trail might be embarrassing for DC...

A government report on ABC that this guy is dead?

I’ll wait for a few days.

So, in other words...no proof that he was killed.

I don't know but "believed killed" in the headline leaves some wiggle room.

Seems every time there is a PR low for O & Co., they get a big target. Vaporized? How convenient.

Color me suspicious.

If true, this is great news. Can’t hide for long slugs.

Isn’t this the third or fourth time they have claimed that “Jihadi John” is dead?

They should not even be announcing (aka CROWING) about this at before their is DNA verification. The fact that Obama’s press people are openly talking about this makes me wonder if the Muslim Brotherhood connection is trying to issue one last very loud warning to Jihad John, that he should lay low for a few months. “We will secretly begin bombing on the 39th parallel on the near the city of Aleppo between 2am and 5am local time.”

Doesn’t he (Jihad J.) know we’re in the middle of an Election Year? Putin has forced Obama to at least pretend that he’s doing something about ISIS besides putting it at far lower priority than he does Climate Change.
