US drone strike takes out British executioner at site of fanatics' worst crimes - but victims' families say they wanted 'coward to suffer'
Mohammed Emwazi targeted by a missile in Islamic State's capital in Syria Former London student hit at 11.40pm last night near symbolic clock tower
There is a high possibility British spies were operating on the ground in Raqqa to help identify Emwazi before the strike and may now be trying to collect DNA evidence to prove his death.
The world's most wanted man, Jihadi John, is believed to have been killed at the very heart of the Islamic State's Syrian capital where it stages horrific public executions.
Pentagon officials '99 per cent' sure they have wiped out British ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi late last night.
The 27-year-old from London appeared in sickening beheading videos of Western hostages including two British aid workers, was 'evaporated' by a missile as he climbed into a car.
He is believed to have been hit near a symbolic clock tower where the group carries out barbaric killings, including crucifixions, after capturing the city two years ago
Bethany Haines, 18, the daughter of one of his British victims, David Haines, today told how she felt 'an instant sense of relief' after hearing reports of his death, having previously said she would only have closure 'once there's a bullet between his eyes'.
But Stuart Henning, the nephew of British aid worker Alan Henning, who was also butchered by Emwazi, said he had mixed feelings because he had 'wanted the coward behind the mask to suffer'.
He was top of the UK Government's 'kill list' of up to a dozen radicals who ministers want dead and David Cameron today said Britain had been working 'hand in glove' with the U.S. to track him down.

Wonder how the 72-virgin thing is working out for him.
I don't either. The Brits aren't yet sure if the drone nailed him or not. Seems like the Brits sent us coordinates of a vehicle they thought he would be in, but knowing Obama, he probably ordered the drone to miss by a mile.
Great news. Thanks for posting.
Because Putin has been stealing all of Obama's headlines.
Coordinated with this rehash, by sheer coincidence.

Propaganda blitz IMO, until we see corpses. And no, government reports, affidavits, pinky swears or whatever are insufficient proofs.
Just last month, Russia said that capturing Jihadi John was a priority.
Maybe Obama didn’t want him to talk...
And that raises a side question, at least in my mind. That clock tower was the sight of many executions. So why wasn't it leveled some time ago?
Seems to me that would have sent a message.
A very understandable desire and one I share. I wanted that POS to experience and suffer deeply the pain he caused for the pain he caused. Eye for an eye, head for a head, etc.
But...I'm working my head through the idea of Christian forgiveness and how we ourselves are forgiven as we forgive others.
As such, I thought it might be a bit unchristian of me to wish white hot agony and suffering on that POS for all he's done and that I should somehow forgive that POS, instead.
But after giving it some thought, I realized that when we suffer, especially when we suffer for the pain we've caused others, we are contrite and repentant and thus available for His Forgiveness.
However, that POS was likely full of himself and his own importance as a follower of allah, who, by his followers' fruits, I'm convinced is Satan.
That now vaporized POS likely never suffered for the pain he caused. If anything, he suffered for that pain he didn't cause and that he wasn't more of a monster for allah than he actually was.
If that's the case, then that now vaporized POS is now suffering for eternity pain beyond pain everlasting.
Hmmm...I guess it really is a Christian thing to wish for a certain kind of "eye for an eye" suffering on someone in the now, as it affords them the opportunity of repentance and to receive His Forgiveness and thus avoid true suffering for eternity.
But as for that now vaporized POS? Oh well...
We can wrestle with the pain. It’s just good, very good, that he’s been killed.
Can’t fault anyone from Obama down, he’s dead. The world is a slightly better place and he’ll face justice elsewhere.
Vlad Putin would have tied him to a stake in the middle of a pig pen and slowly fired away at him for hours with .22 rounds.
“And that raises a side question, at least in my mind. That clock tower was the sight of many executions. So why wasn’t it leveled some time ago?

Good point. The fact of the matter is that the One World types running the West have little or no motivation to put down ISIS, which they are in large part responsible for nurturing if not creating. Their real immediate goal is to reduce Syria to another anarchic charnel pit like Libya.
This is just a sop to popular opinion. Even if it is true, one loser torturer does not destroy the organization which is large, well funded, and mysteriously rich in logistical support.
“Just last month, Russia said that capturing Jihadi John was a priority.
Maybe Obama didn’t want him to talk...”
Interesting point. I doubt the Russians will assume he is dead in the absence of physical or photographic evidence or some credible witness. They would do well to assume he is alive and hunkered down someplace secure like Turkey or the Balkans, and continue the search.
The ones that were left alive after the Bolshoi Theatre attack were taken to Lubyabka. They weren’t heard of again, but the KGB leftovers there knew of how to deal with those types.
If ISIS really wants to go after Russia, Russia will use tactical nukes like we should have after 9/11. And they will take them to Lubyanka which will make gitmo seem like paradise.
Maybe concern for the civilian population is part of it. But it sure seems like something more going on.
One can always hope that the drone was being flown by a female officer.
The 72 Virgins is Just a Myth. The Virgins would have to be supernatural beings which would have to generously endowed in places where a woman would be endowed. The concept being the Virgins would give the ‘hero’ unlimited pleasure for all eternity. Always keep in mind that the Genie would be a supernatural being and would give the recipient pleasure. Genies according to founder of Islam - Mohammed would be women. It is part of the group of adherents that Mohammed was part of that brought together the nomadic tribes from worshipping many gods (polytheism)to worshipping one God (Monotheism). Take the foundations of Judaism and Christianity and blend them in with Islam and the creation of a Monotheistic religion with an established history and maintain he animistic religious practices and claim an entirely new God (Allah) as the supreme being. Islam is a false religion and it glorifies SATAN.
Obama hates it when people fail him
