ISIS confirms death of 'Jihadi John'
For the first time, a propaganda magazine for the Islamic State terror group included an admission that the notorious militant known as "Jihadi John" was dead.
The magazine reports "Jihadi John," otherwise known as Mohammed Emwazi, was born in Kuwait and traveled to the United Kingdom when he was young.
He had figured prominently in a string of ISIS beheading videos, but analysts said he eventually became an outcast as U.S. and British intelligence teams devoted more time and resources to finding him.
Videos in which he appeared showed the beheadings of Americans James Foley, Steven Sotloff and Peter Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, and others.
