US intelligence: Jihadi John fled to Libya
ISIL executioner known as ‘Jihadi John’ in the West, has fled to Libya.
According to a US intelligence source, Mohammad Emwazi left Syria after his identity was disclosed by the media.
The 26 year old British national from London is believed to “have been sidelined” by the ISIL terrorist group.
“We think it is a tactical move by ISIS to keep Emwazi out of the limelight…His unmasking by the press took away the mystery surrounding his bogey man persona and though we have targeted him with conventional missiles we have had no confirmation of a successful strike,” an unnamed US intelligence official was quoted as saying by the Sunday Express.
Jihadi John has appeared in seven videos by the ISIL Takfiri group since August 2014, when he beheaded US journalist James Foley.
He also appeared in two videos in September 2014, when he beheaded US journalist Steve Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines (seen below in an orange jumpsuit next to Jihadi John).
'Jihadi John' was also shown in two other videos in October and November 2014, when he killed British aid worker Alan Henning and a Syrian soldier as well as US aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter Kassig, respectively.
In January 2015, Jihadi John was shown in another video in which he beheaded Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.
The ISIL terrorist group, with members from several Western countries including the UK, Canada, France, Australia and Germany, controls parts of Syria and Iraq, and has been carrying out horrific acts of violence, such as public decapitations and crucifixions, against all communities including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians.
