<div>The masked ISIS executioner known as &#8216;Jihadi John&#8217; has been revealed as Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti born Londoner with a degree in Computer Science, reported the Washington Times. The paper described him as being from a well-to-do family in West London, graduating from college with a degree before disappearing from his family. 4 months after Emwazi was reported missing to the police, authorities told the family their son was in Syria. According to the Kuwaiti government, Emwazi&#8217;s mother identified her son immediately from his voice when she saw the first beheading video in August.</div>

<div>A statement from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King&#8217;s College London said: &#8216;We believe the identity and name published by the Washington Post and now in the public realm to be accurate and correct.&#8217; Given the large influx of foreign soldiers, many of whom also attempt to maintain their anonymity through pseudonyms and masks, this event demonstrates that masking one&#8217;s identity is impossible. The U.S. Senate has now approved a $10 million bounty for the man known as &#8216;ISIS&#8217; Frontman.&#8221;</div>

<div>In 2009/2010, Emwazi decided to move to Kuwait, where he told friends he had a job and marriage waiting for him – but was prevented from travelling there by UK counter-terrorism officials. The BBC stated that Emwazi is believed to be &#8220;an associate of a former UK control order suspect &#8230; who travelled to Somalia in 2006 and is allegedly linked to a facilitation and funding network for Somali militant group al-Shabab.&#8221; Former hostages told the Post that &#8220;Jihadi John was obsessed with Somalia&#8221; and forced captives to watch videos about al-Shabab.The well-to-do Emwazi is only one of many Western born Muslims who have traveled to join ISIS.</div>
