Jihadi John: Islamic State killer named by media as London computer programmer Mohammed Emwazi
The Islamic State killer who has appeared on video beheading hostages has been named by media as former London computer programmer Mohammed Emwazi. His name was first disclosed by the Washington Post, citing unidentified former associates, but two US government sources confirmed investigators believed Jihadi John was Emwazi. Emwazi was identified to the Washington Post by friends and others familiar with the case, with one close acquaintance telling the paper: "I have no doubt that Mohammed is Jihadi John." Emwazi 'harassed by British security services' Asim Qureshi, the research director of charity Cage which worked with Emwazi since 2009, said although he could not be certain Emwazi was Jihadi John, there were some "striking similarities".
