Those who live by the sword, die by the sword, or an American drone strike, as the case may be.

His mum will miss him.
I bet there's a few angry terrorists in the UK today.

Another coward removed from the gene pool.

Re: Jihadi Gone?
Let's hope his death was as slow and terrifying as those he meted out to innocent people. Good riddance.

Re: Jihadi Gone?
I don't celebrate the fact that he appears to be dead, but I'm certainly not for one second going to mourn him.
I almost regret being a humanist and, hence, believing that death is indeed the end, as he'd have I suspect had one hell of a surprise others given he was expecting 72 virgins.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it appeared Emwazi had been "held to account for his callous and brutal crimes".
"However, it would have been far better for us all if he had been held to account in a court of law," he said.

Somehow I doubt he would volunteer to go in and try to arrest him - or even authorise a military intervention with that aim.
It's great being an activist, you don't have to have an overarching, coherent view of anything.

Re: Jihadi Gone?
Nothing wrong with an aspiration. In an ideal world that's what we'd be able to do with all people like that guy. Sadly reality tends to get in the way of the ideals.

Re: Jihadi Gone?
They should have captured him, then beheaded him on the internet with a rusty spam can lid.

Oh no there's plenty wrong with having an aspiration that justice is best served in a court of law if your name is corbyn

Re: Jihadi Gone?
Corbyn is right: it would have been better if he had been captured and brought him back to be tried, convicted and locked away for life with some nice "friendly" cell mates.
In WWII, the Allies could have just made sure the Nazi leaders "died" during attempts to "capture" them but they wanted the world to see that they had been held to account for their crimes. With hindsight, a very wise decision ..
