The masked executioner shown on video beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker has been identified by the FBI, the New York Daily News reports.
“I believe we have identified him,” Director James Comey said Thursday.
The FBI didn’t disclose the name of the militant, who has a British accent.
Jihadi John – as he’s been nicknamed – have been identified in some media outlets as a 23-year-old rapper named Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary.
His father, Adel Abdel Bary, was pleaded guilty last week of conspiring to kill Americans.
