killed jihadi john with a hellfire missile gotten with a drawn. do you think it s possible and will we ever know with 100%? i think they did get him. otherwise they wouldn t be using a number like 99%. what they did was they had someone narrow down a visual. they had contact with him in a car where he was and had the drone launch it where they could get a clear shot of it and probably took the precaution of waiting until they could also ensure minimal collateral damage because that s just the way we do things. and so what s the significance of his death? he was the symbol of the nastiness and barbarianism of the entire organization. he was out there with the pistol strap and the bloody knife.
