Foreign Affairs › 'jihadi John' Killer From Islamic State Beheading Videos Unmasked As Londoner by Lakeside247(op): 8:58pm On Feb 26, 2015
LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The masked "Jihadi John" killer who fronted Islamic State beheading videos has been identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a British computer programming graduate from a well-to-do London family.

The black-clad militant brandishing a knife and speaking with an English accent was shown in videos released by Islamic State (IS) apparently decapitating hostages including Americans, Britons and Syrians.

The 26-year-old militant used the videos to threaten the West, admonish its Arab allies and taunt President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron before petrified hostages cowering in orange jump suits.

Emwazi's name was first disclosed by the Washington Post, citing unidentified former associates, but two U.S. government sources who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed to Reuters that investigators believed Jihadi John was Emwazi.

Dressed entirely in black, a balaclava covering all but his eyes and the bridge of his nose and a holster under his left arm, Jihadi John became a menacing symbol of Islamic State brutality and one of the world's most wanted men.

Hostages called him John as he and other Britons in Islamic State had been nicknamed the Beatles.

Emwazi was born in Kuwait but came to Britain aged 6 and graduated with a computer programming degree from the University of Westminster before coming to the attention of Britain's main domestic intelligence service, MI5.

An associate of Emwazi, who was a fluent Arabic speaker, said MI5 tried to recruit him and then prevented him from traveling abroad, forcing him to flee abroad without telling his family. He traveled to Syria around 2012.

MI5 does not publicly comment on such claims. The British government and police refused to confirm or deny his identity, citing an ongoing security investigation.

"We don't confirm or deny matters relating to intelligence," said a spokeswoman for Cameron, who has ordered spy agencies and soldiers to track down the killer.

MOST WANTED MAN

"Jihadi John" rose to notoriety in August 2014 when a video appeared showing a masked man raging against the United States before apparently beheading U.S. citizen James Foley off camera.

Intelligence services in the United States and Britain used a variety of investigative techniques including voice and facial recognition as well as interviews with former hostages to identify the man, with whom MI5 had already had dealings.

But security officials made great efforts to avoid publicly naming Emwazi, fearing that would make him more difficult to catch. They were uneasy that the name was revealed.

There was no answer at two addresses in west London where Emwazi was listed to have lived. Neighbors described the family as "normal people" and "friendly".

"This is the first time anything like this happens in this neighborhood," said Fatima Al-Baqali. "We have to be careful now. I didn't know this family and I usually know everyone here."

Family › Queen Ahneva Ahneva: King Sunny Ade And I Have A Son And A Daughter by Lakeside247(op): 4:23am On Nov 23, 2014
She is a woman befitting a king –an African King. As an American, she speaks with a passion and love about Africa that surpasses a native’s. Homely, stately and comely, she possesses the ingenuity and beauty of African culture. Her desire to promote Africa and its people is undying. When Nelson Mandela was released, she was there to coordinate his American trip. She was on hand to design a crown (in South African flag colors) for Winnie Mandela.

I have got two pure duroc boar (grower). I might be willing to part with one for you as I have more than required boars in the farm. Infact my farm attendant vehemently refuses me from castrating the two when they were weaners.

Nice thread we've got here. I hope to find more time to contribute here.

Sports › Draxler Hints At Interest In 'attractive' Arsenal by Lakeside247(op): 1:24am On Nov 22, 2013
Julian Draxler has ruled out leaving Schalke in January but hinted at a possible summer transfer to Arsenal.

The Germany international has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United now having joined the race for the 20-year-old's signature.

Draxler, though, has confessed his admiration for the style of football favoured at Arsenal, revealing that he has already spoken to international colleagues Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker about life at the Emirates.

"I have always said English teams are very big clubs and Arsenal is of course one of them," the attacking midfielder is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.

"Of course I sometimes speak to Mesut or Per about the team, about the club, and they always have good words and they tell me nice things.

"You never know what happens in the summer but Arsenal is a very, very nice team. They always have very young players, they play attractive football and that's what I like."

It has even been claimed that Draxler could end up in England as soon as January but, with the World Cup looming, he is dead against the idea of changing clubs midway through the season.

"No way. I won't switch then," he contined. "It's very important for me to play nearly every game.

"For my club I have the chance to play nearly every game; it’s important for me to improve myself.

"I've said every summer I have to look what is the best for me and I will do in the summer again and we will see what happens."

Draxler featured as a substitute in Germany's 1-0 friendly success over England at Wembley on Tuesday.

I am sorry to tell you the truth here. You can do absolutely nothing about it if your old man's mind is made. He sure knows what he is doing because this is not a one day decision. He had it all planned since. Just brace up and support your mum.

Sports › Messi: I Will Come Back Stronger by Lakeside247(op): 1:00am On Nov 21, 2013
Barcelona's Lionel Messi picked up his third Golden Shoe award in the Catalan capital on Wednesday and promised to come back even stronger in 2014 following his injury problems this year.

Messi was handed the prize after finishing as the highest league scorer in all of Europe in 2012-13, but admitted his priority now is to get fit for action and return to his very best.

"My aim is to come back even stronger," the Argentine attacker told a packed audience at the old Damm brewery in Barcelona. "I am working hard to strengthen my body and I hope to be free from injury when I return."

The 26-year-old has suffered four muscle injuries this year and is now sidelined with a hamstring problem which is set to keep him out until early next year.

"I haven't put any date on my return," he explained. "It depends on how things go and when the time is right, I will come back."

Messi scored 46 league goals last season to claim his latest individual prize, and added: "It's a very special prize and recognition for what the team have been doing over the last few years - I dedicate it to the people I love.

"[But] the Golden Shoe wasn't my priority when I was in good shape and is even less so now. My focus is on returning [from injury]."
