Jihadi John Identified

 http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/jihadi-john-the-islamic-state-killer-behind-the-mask-is-a-young-londoner/2015/02/25/d6dbab16-bc43-11e4-bdfa-b8e8f594e6ee_story.html

The infamous Islamic State executioner "Jihadi John" as allegedly been identified as British student Mohammad Emwazi. However, early news reports are not generally reliable on identification of perpetrators like "Jihadi John", like what happened at Sandy Hook a few years ago. At Sandy Hook, an unfortunate man named Ryan Lanza with a similar name to the perpetrator (perpetrator's name was Adam Lanza) was identified as the shooter by early reports. Ryan was however the brother of Adam according to some reports. He got death threats (some include "you are a dead man walking" and "baby-killer") on his Facebook page, despite the fact that the gunman committed suicide in the crime. In the online age, the media often hounds on "information" about sensational event before it is actually confirmed as true. So this apparent identification of "Jihad John" thing, I will wait a week until more reports investigates the claim.
