The
Washington Post and the BBC have both named the man they say is “Jihadi John”,
the Briton fighting with Islamic State (Isis) who has beheaded hostages on
camera.
According to
the Washington Post, the world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with
a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State
and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.
But his real
name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed
Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and
graduated from college with a degree in computer programming. He is believed to
have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State,
the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.
