Washington (CNN)U.S. forces targeted "Jihadi John," the man who has emerged as the masked face of ISIS, in an airstrike in Raqqa, Syria, the Pentagon announced Thursday night.

"Jihadi John," whom Western officials have identified as Mohammed Emwazi, has appeared in a series of brutal execution videos, taunting Western leaders in a British accent.

It was not immediately clear whether the strike was successful. But a senior U.S. official said authorities are confident that the strike killed Emwazi, adding that the U.S. announced the strike because of Emwazi's notoriety.

Waiting for the explanation of why killing a terrorist makes Obama a terrible president.

5. Sadly he probably didn't know what hit him.

I wish he could have been captured, brought here and put on trial. But that does risk too many good men to capture what would basically be a maggot.

12. Great work if they got him or some of his murderous associates

I hope it is confirmed that they got him and as many of his buddies as possible.

13. Better to kill him with an instantaneous strike...

...than a prolonged incarceration that includes torture and waterboarding.
