The latest issue of Dabiq, the Town & Country of the bloodthirsty would-be caliphate, just arrived. Included, along with the usual rote propagandizing and tasteful page layouts, is an obituary for the masked militant known as Jihadi John, whose video executions helped make ISIS a household name in terror.

In a statement, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook confirmed that a U.S. military airstrike in Raqqa, Syria, on Thursday targeted the 27-year-old Mohamed Emwazi, a British national born in Kuwait and raised in London, also known as the ISIS executioner “Jihadi John.”

In a new report by the Washington Post, Jihadi John, the black balaclava-clad face of the Islamic State's gruesome beheading videos, has been identified as 27-year-old Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwait-born British national who grew up in London.
