Jihadi John unmasked: ISIS releases images with bizarre obituary of notorious beheader

ISIS released disgusting obituary of fallen symbol of fear

Though the world heard reports of Jihadi John's death months ago, ISIS only officially confirmed his death last week. Seven days after the confirmation, ISIS has released two unmasked images of the murderous jihad on Twitter.

Highlights

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Jihadi John, whose real name is Mohammed Emwazi, is pictured in combat gear with an AK-47 in one hand. 

In another picture, Jihadi John is reaching toward something out of the camera's scope. He stands before what appears to be a Jeep and an armored truck.

Emwazi was 27-years-old when he was "evaporated" by a drone strike in Raqqa. 

ISIS released an obituary after confirming the terrorist's death, in which they praised him as an "honourable brother" and described his words and actions as those of "sincerity, ambition and enthusiasm."

In the obituary, Emwazi is referred to as "Ab Muhrib," and in part reads: "On Thursday, the 29th of Muharram, 1437 (Nov. 12, 2015), Ab Muhrib finally achieved shahdah (martyrdom) for the cause of Allah, which he had sought for so long, as the car he was in was targeted in a strike by an unmanned drone in the city of Raqqah, destroying the car and killing him instantly.

"A side of Abū Muhārib that wasn't witnessed except by those who knew him was his mercy, kindness, and gener-osity towards the believers, his protective jealousy for Islam and its people, and his affection towards the orphans. Of the deeds that attest to his kindness and generosity is that after receiving a sabiyyah (concubine) as a gift he did not hesitate to give her away - likewise as a gift - to an unmar-ried injured brother."

Though the rest of the world views the obituary, which spans two pages, as a grotesque example of how misshapen ISIS ideals are, it is clear Emwazi was greatly appreciated for his murderous ambitions against Islamic State enemies, and for his kindness toward fellow jihads.

Emwazi was born in Kuwait and moved to North Kensington, London when he was 6-years-old. In 2009 he was added to a list of potential terror suspects in the UK and in 2011 he escaped to Lisbon.

According to Daily Mail, he returned to Britain for a short time but permanently moved to Syria in 2012.

In each video appearance, Emwazi spoke in a British accent and wore a mask to completely disguise his identity.

He was often seen wielding a large knife and beheading hostages wearing orange jumpsuits.
Jihadi John became an ISIS executioner-in-chief and was filmed beheading hostages in propaganda videos. He was also involved in the murders of British aid workers, American journalists, an American aid worker and a Japanese journalist.

One of ISIS' propaganda videos, he released the following closing statement: "If you, (David) Cameron, insist on fighting the Islamic State then you, like your master (Barack) Obama, will have the blood of your people on your hands."

Jihadist John may have been beloved by his twisted regime, but the rest of the world refuses to mourn the loss of another ruthless executioner.
