It seems justice may have caught up with Jihadi John as the US forces carried out an air strike targeting him.
John is the Islamic State (IS) militant who appeared in several execution videos dressed in a black robe with a black hood covering his face.
Also known as Mohammed Emwazi, the Kuwaiti-born British militant, was the target of an attack near Raqqa, in Syria as it was believed that there was at least one person in the vehicle.
According to BBC, the UK government said it was “working hand in glove with the Americans” to “hunt down those murdering hostages”.
While a US official said Emwazi had been “tracked carefully over a period of time”, another source maintained that there was a “high degree of certainty”.
The Pentagon says it is still assessing whether Emwazi had been killed in Thursday’s attack.
A worldwide hunt had been launched for Emwazi after he was seen in videos of the beheading of western hostages.
