Mohammed Emwazi, the British militant better known as Jihadi John, has reportedly been killed by a US drone strike in Syria.
The Pentagon is still accessing the results of the assault.
Thanking the Unites States, British Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the news calling it a “a strike at the heart” of terror group ISIS.
In a statement outside Downing Street, Cameron said that Emwazi had remained a threat to innocent people, including in the UK.
RT reports: The airstrike allegedly targeted Emwazi’s vehicle near the Syrian city of Raqqa – the self-proclaimed capital of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
