ISIS Executioner ‘Jihadi John’ Injured in AirStrike: Reports

The British government on Saturday said it had received reports that ‘Jihadi John’, the British-accented ISIS militant apparently responsible for the beheading of western hostages, had been injured in a US air strike. The Foreign Office could not confirm reports published on Sunday that the masked executioner, who has appeared in a series of grisly videos posted online, had been wounded while attending a meeting of IS leaders in an Iraqi town close to the Syrian border last week. According to the paper, he was rushed to hospital following the US-led attack on a bunker in Al Qaim, western Iraq, on Saturday that killed around 10 ISIS commanders and wounded 40 more.
