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."

There is not much left of a person from a direct hit by a hellfire missile - especially if they are in a vehicle.
Nobody’s claimed that he is definitely dead just yet. And I haven’t found any previous claims that anyone got him.
He must've been carrying a briefcase full of Hillary's lost emails.
We agree.
He evaporated. Trust them this time, no shred of evidence to determine if he’s gone. Just like the taxpayer funded Islamic funeral for the ‘not really muslim’ Osama Bin Laden.
I wouldn’t trust Obama nor anyone in his administration, if they told me the sky is blue !
If they have boasted of this in the past, has there been any identity since assigned to those who were killed by mistaken identity?
Did they “bury him at sea before sundown the next day?”
The only reason Obama went after Jihadi John is because he is a British citizen.
“Vaporized? How convenient. Color me suspicious.”
Don’t be. There’s usually very good optics on the strike targets right up to the point of impact. I’ve watched these strikes in real time. They can put a 500lb laser guided munition within inches of the target. Some strikes, like this one, target individual people. I can assure you when a 500 lb bomb detonates at arm’s length or closer the target is essentially vaporized as you put it. They usually put a 2nd one in for good measure. There’s really nothing but a crater.
But make a fuss, please. Hopefully the film will be released and we’ll all get to see the weasel go pop.
Guess I’m old fashioned, but killing these guys via some kid in a military uniform behind a game console, buried deep in a western state...this guy deserves (he EARNED it) a face to face encounter with a Navy Seal!
Imagine the tiny violin picture posted here -
Maybe a face to face with delta or Canadian soldier. I’ve worked with seals, they’ve left us hanging and humping the hills on operations, they couldn’t keep up.
Hollywood has sure dressed them up well though. I don’t trust then, I do trust the Delta lads though.
I also wonder if they even got the guy. The West has seemed to be helping rather than hindering the moslems.
That’s just to damn bad...He should have suffered an agonizing death!
Brave man, lol. I agree with you btw.
