The ISIS “butcher’s” identity has been reportedly revealed.

According to the BBC and the Washington Post, “Jihadi John”, the masked terrorist executioner who beheaded hostages is one Mohammed Emwazi, the son of a wealthy family from west London and the holder of an IT degree.

British intelligence services had Emwazi on their “radar” for quite a while. He was believed to have moved to Syria in 2012 and shortly afterwards, joined the violent fanatics known as ISIS.

“Jihadi John” is the ‘man’ who beheaded several western hostages, executions videotaped and then disseminated over the Internet.

Emwazi, 27, was born in Kuwait.

His first appearance was to behead a US journalist. More beheadings took place, while he was also present during the killings of the two Japanese hostages.
