Clerk, a kidnapping in progress. How he knew she was in trouble her. The incredible camera. And good morning, america. We have big news overnight in the fight against isis. The chief executioner, jihadi syria. You are see it right there. That is an isis stronghold. He is believed to be dead. The u. S. Had been hunting him for months, but one of the most wanted men on earth who terrorized the world with those brutal terror tapes executing those three americans and publicly calling for war against the united states. He also taunted president obama personally in those tapes. Our full team is on the story this morning starting off with abcs brian ross. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, george. He became the face of evil and the u. S. Had been tracking jihadi john, a british citizen for months. U. S. Officials say the drone strike was launched late nurse and entered a vehicle. Military and intelligence officials watched live a video feedback in washington and one official told abc news it was a 100 flawless direct hit. This morning, praise for the u. S. Effort from leaders around the world. Ive always said that we would do whatever was necessary, whatever it took to track down emwazi. Today i want to thank the united states. Reporter the world first came to joe jihadi john a little over a year ago when he appeared wearing a black mask holding a knife and threatening the life of american journalist james foley. His voice was disguised but he could not hide his british accent. You have plotted against us and gone far out of your way to find reasons to interfere in our affairs. Reporter one after another, he presided over the murders of foley, american Steven Sotloff and peter kassig, plus two britons and then two japanese hostages. Earlier this year, his true identity was revealed to be mohamed emwazi, seen here wearing an american baseball cap, the son of kuwaiti parents who emigrated to the united kingdom. Even as a schoolboy in london, emwazi was spotted by teachers as having a violent streak. One teacher told the bbc at age 11 he was put in anger management therapy. Wed find that hed get very angry and worked up and it would take him a long time to calm himself down. Reporter as a young adult he joined isis flaunting his role as executioner with his piercing eyes and gravelly voice he became one of the worlds most wanted men. Our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people. Reporter the parents of murdered hostage james foley said the action against him was of small solace, quote, this huge effort to go after this deranged man filled with hate when they cant make half that effort to save the hostages while these Young Americans were still alive. Its unfortunate that the government doesnt get it. They think it gives us solace, but it doesnt. U. S. Officials this morning say they presume that emwazi was killed in the drone strike based on what they observed of the hitch the vehicle he was in burst into flames and one official said jihadi john essentially, george, was evaporated. May never have the dna. May never have the dna. The long hunt coming to an end and Abcs Martha Raddatz in washington. What does it say about our overall intelligence capabilities in that area . Reporter well, amy, clearly even with limited intelligence assets we managed to track down leaders. If confirmed he is by far the most prominent. Him. Single person. Pattern. How would he travel . Who does he meet with . How does he got the execution messages out. By being the public face of this tempting fate. More people would know who he was, where he stayed, especially but even with all that as we said, it took more than a year to find him, amy. So, martha, does this make a difference in the fight against isis . Does this have an impact . Reporter its without question a big symbolic victory for the u. S. And britain and you can be sure well make the most of it in terms of countering the isis message but he was not the man leading the fight and surely someone will step in to take his place. The isis network remains very strong and very widespread, but this strike, if proven to be jihadi john, is a blow to the group for now, amy. All right, Martha Raddatz in washington, thank you. The fight against isis front and center in my exclusive interview with president obama yesterday when we spoke in the cabinet room shortly before the strike, the president acknowledged how difficult it would be to eliminate the threat from that deadly terror group. Even your friendly critics, Fareed Zakaria says what you enough. Every couple months you will be down or double down. This is always been a multiyear project, precisely because the government structures in the sunni areas of iraq are weak and there are none in syria and we dont have Ground Forces there in sufficient numbers to simply march into al raqqah and syria and clean the whole place out. And as a consequence, weve always understood that our goal has to be militarily constraining isils capabilities, cutting off their financing. Arent they. Strength. What is true, from the start our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in in, theyll leave. But you dont see this systemic march by isil across the terrain. What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures. Weve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part of our goal has to be to recruit more effective sunni partners in iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense. So what do you think when you hear someone like ben carson get up and say, hey, this would be easy . We can take isil out by bombing their oil fields. What i think is that he doesnt know. About it and, look, george, i think its fair to say that over the last several years, ive had access to all the best military minds in the country and all the best Foreign Policy mines in the country and im not running for office and so my only interest is in success and if im down in the situation room talking with people who have worked in these regions and have run Major Military operations from the chairman of my joint chiefs of staff joe dunford to individuals like general allen who was involved in iraqi operations back in 2007 2008 and they dont think its easy, then its probably not easy and what weve been able to do is to shape a strategy that first and foremost contained the momentum that isil had gained, but until we get the syria political situation resolved and until assad is no longer a lightning rod for sunnis in syria and that entire region is no longer a proxy war for shia sunni conflict were going to continue to have problem. That could take a generation. Well, i would distinguish between making sure that the going to happen any time soon, with making sure that isil continues to shrink in its scope of operations until it no longer poses the kind of threat that it does, not just primarily to us, but to neighbors in the region like jordan or saudi arabia and that the humanitarian crisis thats taking place with millions of people who are fleeing the country, that they can be relieved. Lets bring in jon karl from the white house for more on this and, jon, the president acknowledging how difficult this fight is but as martha pointed out this morning, a big symbolic victory for the president. This is a hugely important symbolic victory for the white house. Jihadi john is seen as somebody who was not just the public face of isis but somebody who was key in the recruitment in the west and also as you mentioned, george, somebody who repeatedly taunted the president , mentioning him by name in virtually every one of those beheading videos. And, jon, we heard the president say ben carson doesnt know what hes talking about on carson also taking fire last night from donald trump. Reporter yeah, donald trump is on the war path. This was his most overthetop attack yet, really a bizarre speech overnight taking on the man who is now the frontrunner or challenging him as the frontrunner in the polls, dr. Ben carson. Its Donald Trumps most overthetop attack yet going after ben carson using words carson wrote in his autobiography about his troubled youth. When he said he had a, quote, pathological temper. So he said he has pathological disease. Now, if youre pathological, theres no cure for that, folks. Okay. If youre a child molester, a sick puppy, youre a child molester, theres no cure for that. Theres only one cure. We dont want to talk about that cure. Thats the ultimate cure. Theres two. Theres death and the other thing. Reporter and trumps rant i say what the hell have we come to, what have we come to when we have to believe this kind of stuff and were going to put somebody in office who considers himself to have pathological disease. Read the definition in the dictionary of pathological disease and im not saying it. He said it about himself. Reporter in the most bizarre part he brought out an imaginary thrive to imitate a scene in his autobiography where as a teenager he said he tried to stab a friend hitting him in the belt buckle. How stupid are the people of iowa . How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap . Reporter carsons spokesman dismissed it as a reaction to carsons standing in the polls saying, quote, mr. Trump has resentment when he sees dr. Carson rise. And, george, that speech went on for 95 minutes, trump was going after everybody. He called marco rubio a lightweight and went after Carly Fiorina calling her carly whats her name. Really bizarre. Totally bizarre and, jon, typical candidates if they call iowa voters stupid pay a price. Its never been tried before. Thanks very much. You can see a lot more of my interview with the president on this week. We turn to a secret Service Officer who worked at the white house under arrest this morning accused of sending sexually explicit messages and pictures to someone he believed was an underage girl allegedly sending some while he was on duty. Abcs Pierre Thomas is in washington with the latest on that story. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, amy.

One thing she recommends doing, a reverse image search of their profile photo. So this shows you right away that this person might not be when who they say they are. If the photo is attached to any other names on the internet thats a red flag. They may have given you a fake name. Chances are somebody is using somebody elses profile. Reporter so before going on that first date our experts says always speak on the phone and always tell a friend or Family Member where youre going to be going.

This is kind of the craziest thing ive done yet. What was pretty significant about coming to gma was my storm chasing background. Had a funnel just moments ago. Imagine, though, a four to even eightfoot wall of water. Down here, its wild. If youre not a meteorologist in the field watching a storm, feeling a storm, knowing what it tastes like even, then youre not understanding the atmosphere and then el nino happened. Its been such a heavy weekend for everyone in oklahoma . And it was the first time ive had someone close to me pass away in a story. I remember that morning one of the producers started calling me and said, ginger, tim died in the tornado and i said, thats not possible. Its actually not possible at all. Hes the mo essex experienced, hes the best scientist out there. I think it really hit me not only as the science that i do and what tim did every day, important we think in some ways that were slightly invincible and to watch someone you know become part of that story and then to have to cover it ill never forget that whole day so that one sticks out to me in a very poignant way where i thought we are all part of this together. There was a story i wanted to tell. Environmental stories dont usually get picked up. The population of vultures in nepal was declining. I found this group that did parahawking to give attention to the vulture population. Deadliest catch, definitely feel psych seasickness. I have never thrown up so much in my life for one thing. Ill be fine. You got to see it and feel it and know why these people are putting their life at risk for crap. That one i hopefully will never forget. What is the scariest one . The sharks. I feel like im in a movie. Bring them on. I loved it. The jellywish, swimming with them. The scariest for me was nascar. Fast on the ground is no good. To become someone who can kind of make history in a way or be a part of a team that does that, it feels surreal. Live from 10,000 feet. Skydiving live was memorable. Nobody knew if we were going to be able to pull it off. The anchors were more concerned for me. Oh, my gosh, ginger, be careful. Memorable in the history way. Just look at this. It is unbelievable. I went to vietnam, being in that cave was one of the most difficult things ive ever done. But at the end of it you look back and you go, wow. I climbed this. Im part of history. Im one of only a couple hundred people that have been able to be in there and able to bring the world in to this global phenomena live. I think the one event ill tell my kids and my grandkis is about iceland. Right behind me is the biggest lava flow in more than 200 years and we are going to take you inside. I remember flying into that volcano overit with a helicopter and then flying a drone inside and flying over this crater. The response that i got about how even life changing it was for them watching, that one is going to stick with me forever. Right here on Good Morning America. Ive never been in a place that believes in you as much as they do here. I am honored to be part of the on air people. These people have so much a team like that and help round out what i think is a nice family, that feels good. It feels good to be a part of every morning of the you may never sleep for a couple of years. You may never but the opportunities that come to you are second to none. A lot of screaming in that. Yeah. You make it look you have the hardest job here. Its not even close. You should get out more, ginger. Again, one of us interviewed the president. Not jumping out of a plane. You have no idea who the special guest is. I dont. It could be anyone from Beverly Hills 90210. Alex trebek. But do you hear that . I do hear it. Your special guest is coming.

Art and life seem to be imitating one another. Baby neal in the show, got baby oliver in real life. Baby neal will have attachment issues. The differences about baby neal and oliver is we can give baby neal back at the end of the night and we have oliver so theres a lot more work. Oliver is like a toddler. Hes a little dude. Hes like almost as big as jared. Reporter after visits from pan, elsa and this season, who could be storybrookes next visitor. Star wars. Star wars would be incredible. Just saying. I always thought Indiana Jones would be fun. That would be epic. Buzz lightyear walks in. Thats a good one. To infinity and beyond. Reporter so we took the casts suggestion straight to the creator and writers. You know, star wars is ow personal favorite fairy tale but millennium falcon will be what our fans want. I dont know what we would put at the Kraft Service table for a wookie. Reporter for Good Morning America, rachel smith, abc news, storybrooke. You never know.
