The missile strike believed to have killed ‘Jihadi John’ came together at lightning speed, but was months in preparation, reports Reuters.

US and British agencies had tracked the Islamic State propagandist and alleged executioner for months before delivering information on his movements and location to the U.S. military, officials said.

In the days leading up to the strike Emwazi had been moving around Raqqa, visiting his wife’s residence and an Islamic State media operations cell, said one U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The subsequent U.S. and British operation unfolded quickly and two missiles destroyed the car targeted in the strike.

The White House press secretary Josh Earnest has spoken about the air strike which is thought to have killed Mohammed Emwazi

Mr Emwazi was a British citizen who is best known in this country for his participation in the death of some western hostages including some American citizens. Mr Emwazi was an Isil leader, he was a strategist for that organization, and he was intimately invovled in the effort by Isil to recruit individuals to their cause. So his ability to use social media to inspire and radicalize people around the globe meant that he was making a valuable contribution to Isil.
But “at this point I am not in a position to confirm the results of that operation
Earnest added Emwazi was “ a threat not just to the region but to countries around the world.

The families of US hostages killed by Mohammed Emwazi were contacted prior to the blast which is thought to have killed him.

During a White House briefing a spokesman said families of the US hostages who were killed in Syria were spoken to before the air strike operation targeting Jihadi John.

Emwazi is though to have killed US journalist James Foley, UK hostages Alan Henning and David Haines, American journalist Steven Sotloff, aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig and Japanese journalists Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa.
