U.S. Launches Syria Airstrike Targeting ISIS' Notorious 'Jihadi John'
by COURTNEY KUBE and M. ALEX JOHNSON
U.S. forces launched an airstrike Thursday night in Raqqa, Syria, targeting Mohamed Emwazi, the ISIS terrorist known as "Jihadi John" seen in propaganda videos executing American hostages, the Defense Department said.
The masked Emwazi, a Kuwait-born British citizen, has participated in numerous videos showing the killings of Westerners, including American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, officials said.
Military officials said they were still assessing the operation and provided no further details.
