The parents of James Foley, the American journalist who was beheaded by Islamic State, are speaking out about "Jihadi John".
"The point is, we capture and bring him to justice, what does that do? ISIS is still doing its thing. It's a very narrow approach. The only thing I'll be happy with is when ISIS is defeated." said John Foley, father of the slain journalist.
Foley's parents spoke to students at the University of Arizona on Thursday, the same day the masked "Jihadi John" killer who fronted Islamic State beheading videos was identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a British computer programming graduate from a well-to-do London family who was known to the security services.
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.
UK TV SHOWS PICTURE OF UNMASKED JIHADI JOHN
British television broadcast the first picture of Mohammed Emwazi as a student, showing the man identified as the Islamic State "Jihadi John" killer with a moustache and goatee beard wearing a large baseball cap.
Sky News broadcast a photograph of the 26-year-old wearing a black cap with a logo that resembled the P from the Pittsburgh Pirates Us Major League Baseball team, which it said was stored by the University of Westminster where he studied.
British media had previously only published a picture of Kuwaiti-born Emwazi as a smiling schoolboy.
Two U.S. government sources have told Reuters that Emwazi is Jihadi John, the black-clad militant seen brandishing a knife and speaking with an English accent in videos released by Islamic State (IS).
He appeared on the short videos in which hostages including Americans, Britons and Syrians were decapitated.
The document obtained by Sky News also showed that Emwazi had completed a degree in Information Systems with Business Management.
A spokeswoman for the University of Westminster said it was investigating how the information had been obtained and declined further comment.
