Can we look forward to his family wasting public money and court time in an effort to get some compo for the death of their little boy?
I hope not, but there will be plenty of lawyers with eyes ringing up pound signs I bet.
The drone is believed to have been tracking Emwazi for most of the day yesterday and he was 'ID'd and engaged' when he came out of a building and got into a vehicle in Raqqa.
Another senior military source told the BBC there is a 'high degree of certainty' he had been killed.
Anti-ISIS activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RIBSS), which operates in the Syrian city, reported that Emwazi was killed at around 11.40pm last night.

He said sources described one of those killed as a 'senior British member of the group'.
The strike is also understood to have hit another member of 'The Beatles' – a nickname given to three British-sounding ISIS captors who guarded Western hostages, with Jihadi John being a reference to John Lennon.
A second member of the cell – nicknamed 'Jihadi George' after George Harrison – is believed to be London rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary who fled to Syria in 2013.
The former rap star, whose father was a key lieutenant of Osama bin Laden, was among the first foreign fighters to take up arms in the warzone two years ago.

Any family of a proved jihadist should be deported in any case. This is the best deterrent we have which makes these people think twice because they know their families will suffer. They are the ones who should know and can make an educated guess as to what exactly this beast was getting up to.
People shouldn't be blind to the fact that Sharia law which they put above british laws tells Muslims all to lie to protect themselves and islam against non-muslims as well as the fact it directs muslims to give to charity to finance these jihadists.

Oh yay. So we got him before Russia did, eh?
If this happened, it probably happened some time ago. Not sure they sound too sure, though, as they still "assessing the results" to "determine."
Funny thing, they just got "Jihadi Judd" on Madam Secretary too.
ETA: The language is "odd" in the reporting. "Pentagon tries to get confirmation." From who? CIA? "The U.S. military said early Friday it was still working to determine whether the strike killed the militant...."

It feels like we have to be presented with everything on such a goodie vs baddie scenario these days. Dumbed down for the uneducated masses
