Our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people. Reporter president obama today vowed to get him, in an interview with abc station komo. Eventually, if you hurt an american, you are going to be brought to justice in some fashion. Reporter it was soon after the beheading of american james foley in august that u. S. And british authorities first figured out who the masked man was, with his facial characteristics and british accent helping to give him away. Im back, obama. Reporter but the u. S. Was helpless to stop him as americans Steven Sotloff and peter kassig, plus two britons and then two japanese hostages became his next victims. The name is just a very small piece of the overall identity. The real goal is identifying where he is, who his network of associates is. And then being able to take action against him inside a place like syria where we have a lack of resources. Reporter emwazis name was kept secret in hopes that he would communicate with his family back in west london where he grew up. After emigrating from kuwait where he was born. Detectives from Scotland Yard were at the house today, and so was abc news correspondent hamish macdonald.

This is the house that police were knocking on the door of. Reporter tonight the family and friends of american hostage Steve Sotloff said they hope he is captured alive. We would like to see him in a court of law, in the dock being charged with his crimes and having to answer for what he did. If hes simply killed in an air strike we wont know anything else. So this was something today, brian. Authorities reveal they knew who they were dealing with shortly after the videos surfaced. You learned tonight, they had him on the radar for years now.
