“Jihadi John, the Briton who beheaded two British and two American hostages held by Islamic State terrorists, has been injured in a US-led air strike, according to reports received by the Foreign Office,” the Daily Mail reports.

“The masked ‘executioner’ with a London accent is believed to have narrowly escaped death when he attended a summit of the group’s leaders in an Iraqi town close to the Syrian border last Saturday. The meeting was targeted by American and Iraqi jets.”

Meanwhile, the New York Times reports President Obama confirmed the beheading of Peter Kassig saying he “was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group.”
