American forces have carried out an air strike in Syria which has reportedly killed Jihadi John.

Officials in the US are scrambling to confirm that he has been killed, following the drone attacks in Raqqa, Islamic State's capital.

But one defence official told ABC News that the British Isis militant, whose real name is Mohammed Emwazi, 'evaporated' after a 'flawless' and 'clean hit' as he left a building and climbed into a vehicle.

Pentagon Press secretary Peter Cook said:  'US forces conducted an airstrike in Raqqa, Syria, on November 12, 2015 targeting Mohamed Emwazi, also known as 'Jihadi John'.

'We are assessing the results of tonight's operation and will provide additional information as and where appropriate.'

A senior US defence official told CNN that they knew it was Emwazi before they struck in a mission he described as involving 'persistent surveillance'.

Emwazi, 27, carried out a number of beheadings of Western hostages in Syria and was top of the UK Govenrment's 'kill list' of up to a dozen British radicals whom ministers want taken out with targeted drone strikes.

I hope it's true. 

Couldn't happen to a 'nicer' scum bag   

I hope Abu is OK.
