>The U.S. military launched a drone strike Thursday targeting “Jihadi John,” the masked Islamic State terrorist who beheaded several Western hostages in Syria and came to symbolize the brutality of the militant group, officials said.
>But the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an operation that has not yet been announced, said they are still working to determine whether the strike actually killed the militant, Briton Mohammed Emwazi.
>The strike took place on Thursday around the Syrian city of Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de facto capital.
>If confirmed, Emwazi’s death would cap over a year of Western efforts to hunt down a militant who became widely known in August 2014 when he appeared — masked and dressed from head to toe in black — in a video in which he executed American journalist James Foley.

Will the UK get pissed at the US for attacking one of its many Muslims citizens
That's a hell of an expensive way to target a person who is not even that important in the IS hierarchy. I assume he would have been targeted along with a dozen others at least. Otherwise a waste of resources.

Nah, they're not that keked yet

Damage control. We have to pull out our top islam executioner and having him traced back down to obama checks would be really bad.

U.S. looking for glory following Russia's successful air strikes in Syria.

He has been out for almost a year. Why hasn't he outed supposed government backing or killed earlier?
>>55540154
We've had successes too. We killed that nigger-turned-ISIS rapper
>>55539775
No. We've already killed "British" muslims with drones.

This is actually breaking news on CNN and MSNBC
It's actually FOX that's talking about race

Propaganda victory or status victory
It's a "talk shit get hit" kind of thing.

NATO's desperate for good press right now. Don't you find the timing convenient?
Wait, so are we supposed to be sad about this. I mean, he was an ISIS fucker, but he was redpilled and an endless source of funny memes.
So we're like, 50/50?

US has to cover their tracks and involvement in Syria now that it's clear they lost the proxy war.
Cutting ties and connections with anyone and everyone by murder.

Why so long though? He's been off the map for 9 months
This is what happens when you fall fir the stem degree meme.

The same was said about bin Laden, yet there was never any proof. It makes for good propaganda.

CIA put him up in a Trump hotel.

It's just that isn't it, an expensive propaganda move? Guess the US and NATO really need some good press.
>>55540822
Because now other countries
are on the ground. Means we had to send in special forces to burn all traces of our involvement with isis. Obama would never face trial in america, but some other countries will use it against him specifically, and declare war on us.
Also
>off the grid for 8 months
>america finds him conveniently
>no actual proof other than a random dune coon getting bombed.
>never saw his face so public cant identify
>will be buried at sea and a seal team helicopter will crash with only a muslim survivor.
