He is 27-years-old and resident of Queen’s Park, west London. Moreover, he is a computer programming graduate from the University of Westminster and it is believed that he had travelled to Syria in 2012 and later joined ISIS.
The identification has been apparently done by one of his close friends who said Mohammed Emwazi was like a brother to him.
Another person named Asim Qureshi, research director a British human rights group Cage, also believed the man was Jihadi John. Qureshi had been in contact with Mohammed Emwazi before he left for Syria.
The FBI had been trying to identify Jihadi John by using various investigative techniques like voice analysis and interviews with former hostages. British Prime Minister David Cameron has reiterated that Jihadi John has to face justice for the inhuman and appalling acts that have been committed in Syria.
