The Islamic State group’s propaganda magazine has confirmed the British militant known as Jihadi John died in a drone strike in November, the BBC reports.
The group published an obituary for the jihadist, whose real name was Mohammed Emwazi, in its online magazine Dabiq.
In November the US military said it was “reasonably certain” it had killed him in the IS-stronghold of Raqqa.
Emwazi appeared in beheading videos of victims including UK aid worker David Haines and taxi driver Alan Henning.
