Jihadi John's ID revealed

[Osem]

The masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John", who has been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named.

The BBC understands he is Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man in his mid-20s from West London, who was known to UK security services.

Emwazi has been previously described as a member of a network involving at least 13 men from London - and at least two of them were subjected to house arrest control orders or T-Pims. One absconded. The chances of Emwazi ever returning to the UK are vanishingly small.

I wonder how embarrassing this is going to get.

The mother of Mohammed Emwazi has said she immediately recognised his voice when she heard him on a hostage video released by Islamic State.

And did she immediately inform the authorities?

Whether she did or not would not have been helped by this.

A certain Asif Ishaq on Twitter isn't happy about the director/chief apologist of CAGE getting a hard time off Andrew Neil, he also isn't a fan of the security services in general.

A curious choice then to advise the SNP on cyber security.

Only if they're not a bunch of deluded loonies...
