THE ISLAMIC State murderer dubbed 'Jihadi John' has been named as Mohammed Emwazi from west London, according to reports.

But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer 

It has been confirmed to the Guardian that Mohammad Emwazi, a 26-year-old Londoner and computer studies graduate, is the militant labelled “Jihadi John” who has claimed responsibility for the beheadings of at least seven US, British and other hostages.

Britain's security services are in a no-win situation. Monitor a suspected terrorist and, as in the case of Mohammed Emwazi, MI5 ends up accused of harassment. Fail to monitor him, also in the case of Emwazi, and MI5 is blamed for letting him escape

Citing The Washington Post, Reuters reports that friends have identified "Jihadi John" as Mohammed Emwazi, a British national. Published at 5:45 am ET, Thu Feb 26 2015. Just Watched. replay. LONDON — The masked man
