‘Jihadi John’ is believed to have left ISIS for fear of his life


‘Jihadi John’ is afraid of his life and fears that he could die at the hands of ISIS. He is wanted for the beheading murders of Americans and others seen on video and, it seems he has left the terrorist group ISIS.
He is also afraid of being in the eyes of the U.S.-led coalition forces apart from jealous jihadists within the Islamic State who feel he has robbed them of the limelight. Experts feel ISIS would drop him once they feel he has outlived his purpose. He also knows he will end up suffering the same fate as his victims.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 26 July 2015.
Jihadi John has already been identified as 26-year-old Mohammed Emwazi. He was born in Kuwait and raised in Britain and is the infamous covered face seen in numerous ISIS videos that showed the beheadings of British and American hostages.
His first ISIS video appearance was in August 2014 and is usually dressed with a black wrap covering his entire face, with only his eyes peeking through. But, once his true identity was revealed, he decided to flee.
He has the brutal murders of journalists Stephen Sotloff and James Foley on his head apart from the beheading of aid workers David Haines, Alan Henning and Peter Kassig.

IS dares US to save American hostage Peter Kassig who is scheduled for beheading next


The Islamic State (IS) has made its intentions clear news.sky.com – no matter how many airstrikes are undertaken, it has now threatened to kill American hostage Peter Kassig next, after the beheading of British aid convoy volunteer Alan Henning.
Incidentally, Peter Kassig was in his mid-20s and hailed from Indiana – he had gone to the region to volunteer in hospitals in Lebanon after serving in Iraq. Once there, he spent time in Lebanon and then established his own charity to deliver aid to Syrians. He had named it Special Emergency Response and Assistance (SERA).
He was undertaking a project for SERA when he was detained on 1 October 2013 on his way to Deir Ezzour in eastern Syria. The former soldier Peter Kassig was shown in the video clip of beheading of Alan Henning – in the video, an IS fighter says - Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment in Sham. So it's only right we continue to strike the necks of your people.
Obviously, it is all about retaliation by the blood thirsty militants and, speaking on this video, President Barack Obama has strongly condemned the brutal murder of United Kingdom citizen Alan Henning by the terrorist group ISIL. In Obama’s words – Alan Henning worked to help improve the lives of the Syrian people and his death would be a great loss for not only them but also for his family and the people of the United Kingdom.
Lisa Monaco, Homeland Security adviser to the White House, has described the murder of Alan Henning as "yet another clear example of the brutality of this group" – it had, earlier, killed two American journalists - James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
The global community must join had to bring to justice the murderer of Alan Henning, Jim Foley, Steven Sotloff and David Haines.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warns that war with ISIS will not be easy or brief


As authorized by President Barack Obama, the US has taken the fight with ISIS extremists to its doorstep in Baghdad and, instead of being defensive till now, has turned offensive. US warplanes struck an Islamic State target southwest of Baghdad to show that the US has stepped up the offensive against the terrorist group news.sky.com.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has warned that the war would not be easy or brief. AS he has remarked - victory will come only when the mission of degrading, destroying and defeating ISIL is completed.
Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has indicated to the senators that the US was ready to strike the extremists in Syria and it will not be 'shock and awe' because that is not how ISIL is organized – rather, it will be persistent and sustainable.
Similar sentiments were echoed by British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond who said the UK Government was doing all it could to save British hostage Alan Henning, and warned it would not be deterred from its goal of "crushing" the Islamic State fighters who were behind his abduction.
ISIS have threatened Britain that Alan Henning, an aid convoy volunteer, would be next to be killed after David Haines. Incidentally, while US Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to drum up support with Middle East and Gulf state allies to show a united front, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has revealed that he had rejected a request from the US to join the fight against IS because Washington's intentions were unclean.
