'Jihadi John' unmasked: Mohammed Emwazi is London graduate

A British-accented militant who has appeared in beheading videos released by the Islamic State group in Syria bears strong similarities to a man who grew up in London, a Muslim lobbying group said Thursday. Mohammed Emwazi has been identified by news organizations as the masked militant more commonly known as "Jihadi John." Asim Qureshi of CAGE, a London-based group which works with Muslims in conflict with British intelligence services, said Thursday he saw strong similarities, but because of the hood worn by the militant, "I can't be 100 percent certain." He said he hadn't had contact with Emwazi since January 2012.
