Someone is getting a big disappointment right about now. "B.. b.. but I was promised 72 virgins!!"

What kind of paradise would accept such a monster? It's certainly no paradise I would ever want to enter.

"Dabiq devoted an article to Emwazi, describing him as an “honorable brother” known for his “mercy and generosity” who once gave away a concubine as a gift “to an unmarried injured brother”."

He sounds like a real gent.

destroying the car and killing him instantly

Gee, that's too bad - I mean, the "instantly" part.

Lest we forget the good, constructive work that drones accomplish.

The Islamic State group confirmed Tuesday the death of British extremist “Jihadi John”, saying he was killed in a drone strike in their Syrian stronghold of Raqa in November.

Well, if they say it, it must be true.

Either way good riddance, now the rest of em.

A monster had been killed,what about the other monsters?Shall we wait decades to see this day,and for sure hundreds or thousands of innocent people will be killed or beheaded by those monsters?

He was just one man. An important figurehead, but just one man. There are hundreds more just like him, just as cruel as him, just as sick and depraved.

I'm happy he's dead, but doesn't slow down IS until the free world fully commits to ending IS.

Kind of a cool thing about ISIS is that it vacuums up lots of crazy extremists into a compact area where they can systematically be blown up.

ISIS has lost a great amount of territory and funding. Their demise is in sight. I say, let more zealots from around the world flock to the killing zone!

Message to jihadists: If you do stuff like Jihadi John did, you might get your body torn apart by a drone strike.

Isn't this the second time he is killed????

LoL@Serrano. I can just imagine that being said in a grizzly robotic voice too.

Kind of a cool thing about ISIS is that it vacuums up lots of crazy extremists into a compact area where they can systematically be blown up.

But on the other side of the coin, they're influencing random, lone wolf attacks.

Adios.

ISIS could be lying to pretend that he is already dead. They have lied about other things before.

Nevertheless, these continuous targeted strikes could only be hurting ISIS because their experienced leaderships are getting thinned out, whichever they are.

Also, ISIS recently halved the wages of all its fighters, no matter the rank. They don't have as much money.

@lostrune2 Yup you can see the strike on the ISIS "bank" on youtube. Money was burning up in the sky. That missile strike "made it rain."
