He’s The Most Wanted Man In The World
The ISIS war criminal who murdered James Foley spoke with a British accent. British and US intelligence authorities are determined to unmask him.
Click here for reuse options!The English jihadist who beheaded the American journalist James Foley is believed to be the leader of a group of British fighters holding foreign hostages in Syria, sources have told the Guardian.
As an international manhunt got under way on Wednesday, the English-speaking militant was identified to the Guardian by one of his former hostages as the ringleader of three British jihadists thought to be the main guards of foreign nationals in Raqqa, a stronghold of Islamic State (Isis) rebels.The militant who appeared on the Foley video, who called himself John and is believed to be from London, was said to be the main rebel negotiator during talks earlier this year to release 11 Islamic State hostages – who were eventually handed to Turkish officials after ransom demands were met.
The FBI, MI5 and Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command were all on Wednesday night racing to identify the militant who fronted the propaganda video that showed the brutal murder of Foley, the journalist who had been missing in Syria since 2012.
Sources in Syria recognised the man as a point-man for hostage negotiations in Raqqa, where he is said to have held discussions with several families of jailed foreign nationals over the internet.
One former hostage, who was held for a year in Raqqa, told the Guardian the British executioner is intelligent, educated and a devout believer in radical Islamic teachings. The three UK-born militants were referred to as “the Beatles” by fellow hostages because of their nationality, the former captive added.

Wheeee! How about the wood chipper machine?

Make him watch Dancing With The Stars for 72 hours straight. Then feed him into the wood chipper.

In the wood chipper, feet first, slow setting. Also, throw in a few episodes of Kevin Sorbo in Hercules, just to make it really painful.
Mwha ha ha ha ha ha!

Aww but I LIKE that show. . .why not have him watch Walker: Texas Ranger instead!
Abby Normal August 21st, 2014 at 23:25
That’s even better. Only one problem. 72 hours of Walker: Texas Ranger would put him into a coma and he wouldn’t feel the full effect of the wood chipper.

Nuts! I didn’t think about that. . .hmm. . .Jersey Shore?

Thank goodness George isn’t president. We’d likely be invading Halifax Nova Scotia looking for him.

One former hostage, who was held for a year in Raqqa, told the Guardian the British executioner is intelligent, educated and a devout believer in radical Islamic teachings.
Oh, well, that’s nice. But stripping away all the preening about devotion and teachings and holy war, they’re revealed ultimately to be just common criminals, cheap crooks, whose One True Faith is kidnap and extortion.
