It seems that the bloody face of 'Jihadi John' the ISIS spokesman in their propaganda videos is a British citizen. This guy is a college educated bloke...
http://www.sfchronicle.com/news/world/article/Muslim-group-Jihadi-John-resembles-UK-man-6102945.phpLONDON (AP) — The world knows him as "Jihadi John," the masked, knife-wielding militant in videos showing Western hostages being beheaded by the Islamic State group. On Thursday he was identified as a London-raised university graduate known to British intelligence for more than five years.
The British-accented militant from the chilling videos is Mohammed Emwazi, a man in his mid-20s who was born in Kuwait and raised in a modest, mixed-income area of west London.
No one answered the door at the brick row house where Emwazi's family is said to have lived. Neighbors in the area of public housing projects either declined comment or said they didn't know the family.
British anti-terror officials wouldn't confirm the man's identity, citing a "live counterterrorism investigation." But a well-placed Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly, confirmed he is Emwazi.
One man who knew Emwazi portrayed him as compassionate, a description completely at odds with the cruelty attributed to him.

Maher said Emwazi's background was similar to that of other British jihadis, and disproved the idea "that these guys are all impoverished, that they're coming from deprived backgrounds."
"They are by and large upwardly mobile people, well educated," he said.
The daughter of British aid worker Haines, who was killed in September, told ITV News that identifying the masked man was "a good step."
"But I think all the families will feel closure and relief once there's a bullet between his eyes," Bethany Haines said.
Sotloff's family said they felt "relieved" and "take comfort" after Emwazi's identity was revealed, and hope he will be caught and sent to prison.
"We want to sit in a courtroom, watch him sentenced and see him sent to a super-max prison where he will spend the rest of his life in isolation," family spokesman Barak Barfi told the BBC.
