'Jihadi John' a goner? Where's the video?



The news came overseas from Britain about 11:30 p.m., last night: Ding dong, the witch is dead, decapitation video crazed Jihadi John's now allegedly a goner. According to Britain's Daily Mail: "The world's most wanted man, Jihadi John, is believed to have been killed in a U.S. drone strike in Syria." (Daily Mail, Nov. 13, 2015) "Believed to have been killed" is not nearly as reassuring or as absolute as the term, "was killed".
Just as we had to take Barack Obama's word with no pictures for proof when Osama bin Laden was taken down at Abbottabad, Pakistan in May of 2011, the masses must now rely on selfie soul mates Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is to make a statement on the "evaporation" of Jihadi John sometime later today. No pictures were ever released of bin Laden's corpse, which was treated to a full-scale, behind-the-scenes, translated prayers and all, Islamic burial at sea. The British mainstream media dubbed-"Jihadi John' was infamous for the beheading videos sent viral over the Internet. Where's the video of his "evaporation"? Drones in constant video surveillance take pictures of those targeted for slaughter.

Videos provided horrific proof when Jihadi John decapitated his innocent victims over the past two years. No videos of the takedown of Jihadi John? It can't be that the Obama administration does not count videos as important for establishing their narratives. After all, it was an anti-Muslim video released by the imprisoned Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, on which Obama and his then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blamed the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi. "Pentagon officials say they are '99 per cent' sure they have assassinated British Islamic State executioner Mohammed Emwazi in the terror group's capital of Raqqa." (Daily Mail)
"Jihadi John is 'evaporated' at ISIS' 'crucifixion' clock tower: US drone strike takes out British executioner at site of fanatics' worst crimes - but victims' families say they wanted 'coward to suffer'. "The 27-year-old from London, who appeared in a string of sickening beheading videos of Western hostages including two British aid workers, was 'evaporated' by a missile as he climbed into a car. "He was involved in the murders of British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig (also known as Peter Kassig) and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. "Mr Haines, an aid worker from Scotland, was executed in September last year, having been held captive for 18 months. "Anti-ISIS activists say Emwazi is believed to have been hit near a symbolic clock tower in the city centre where the group has staged a number of horrific public executions, including crucifixions, since capturing the city two years ago. "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. "Bethany Haines, 18, had previously said she would have only have closure 'once there's a bullet between his eyes'. "Stuart Henning, the nephew of British aid worker Alan Henning, who was also killed by Emwazi, said he had mixed feelings because he 'wanted the coward behind the mask to suffer'. "A senior US defence official had earlier told Fox News: 'We are 99 per cent sure we got him. We were on him for some time.' "The Kuwaiti-born militant, who moved to the UK when he was six years old, was blown up in a 'flawless' and 'clean hit', another defence source told ABC News. "However, ISIS sources in Raqqa are claiming he survived the attack, with eyewitnesses telling Sky News he was taken badly injured to hospital which has been placed in lockdown by the Sunni militants. "Emwazi has been the subject of an international manhunt for more than a year after he first appeared in a barbaric execution video in August last year. "He was top of the UK Government's 'kill list' of up to a dozen radicals who ministers want killed in drone strikes and David Cameron today said Britain had been working 'hand in glove' with the U.S. to track him down. "The British Prime Minister welcomed reports of the killing which he called an 'act of self defence'. "He stopped short of confirming that Emwazi - who he branded a 'barbaric murderer' - was dead but said the targeted attack was 'the right thing to do'. "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.
Let's hope so because without the DNA evidence to prove his death, all of those living under the threat of Islamic terrorism will rest neither in security nor in any peace.
