Abstract

The article discusses the public release of the identity of Mohammed Emwazi, a member of the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist organization who has been filmed executing prisoners and was referred to as Jihadi John by the press. Topics addressed include Emwazi's background living in West London after moving from Kuwait as a 6-year-old, as well as British intelligence agencies' awareness of Emwazi as a potential terrorist as early as 2009.
