Jihadist who killed James Foley has been identified - Polidicks

[QUOTE] British security services claim to have identified the jihadi who executed American journalist James Foley. [URL="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/article1450765.ece"]The Sunday Times newspaper in London[/URL] quotes "senior (British) government sources" as saying they know who "Jihadi John" is. However officials refused to name him publicly. Investigators have been looking at three main suspects, including former rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary. He is a 23-year-old from an affluent part of west London who went to fight in Syria last year and has tweeted a photo of himself holding a severed head.

[I]We know who he is.. but, we can't tell you.[/I] Bluff?

[QUOTE=Bradyns;45785287][I]We know who he is.. but, we can't tell you.[/I] Bluff?[/QUOTE] Why would they name him publicly?

Seriously, how a journalist says "let's go to Syria!" despite being a white man is just beyond me. The amount of courage that must take is just beyond me I wouldn't do it for a million dollars.

They're likely spying on them right now.

[QUOTE=RainbowPillows;45785306]They probably don't want the other suspects friends to find out. They're likely spying on them right now.[/QUOTE] That would make sense. Protecting those undercover.

Hopefully they'll "handle" him now and whos gonna know? Whos going to challenge us if they do find out? The SAS aren't meant to be cooperative and merciful. People say they killed POWs in Libya yet everyone ignored it and they killed every single terrorist in the Iranian Embassy without hesitation.

2 world wars and years of IRA terrorist have made British intelligence arguably the best in the world.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;45785416]I dunno man, USA is pretty serious too[/QUOTE] Any old chucklefuck could do the CIA's job with the sheer amount of cash being thrown at them.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;45785416]I dunno man, USA is pretty serious too[/QUOTE] Serious =/= Good. Just because we stick probes in all of our Allies butts doesn't mean we get actual, important information :v:

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;45785434]Any old chucklefuck could do the CIA's job with the sheer amount of cash being thrown at them.[/QUOTE] umm the same could be for literally any other intelligence agency money = personnel, equipment, training, contacts, etc so whats your point?

I hope they handle this asshole with care. With care I mean either killed swiftly, or he be put into an american system with veterans or something, so they can handle him.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;45785435]Serious =/= Good. Just because we stick probes in all of our Allies butts doesn't mean we get actual, important information :v:[/QUOTE] are you actually legitimately trying to say that US intelligence doesnt get "actual, important information"?

[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28920699[/url] The BBC reports that it is 'close' but not fully identified. [quote]Mr Westmacott also told NBC's Meet the Press: "We're not in a position to say exactly who this is but I think we are close."[/quote]

regarding the whole british intelligence thing, the dude was from england so naturally england would have the most info on the guy to identify him.

[QUOTE=bearwolf;45785403]2 world wars and years of IRA terrorist have made British intelligence arguably the best in the world.[/QUOTE] British and American intelligence is on the same tier. [QUOTE=purvisdavid1;45785628]Um, you're late man. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1419851[/url][/QUOTE] No he isnt. This confirms who did it.

[QUOTE=Bazsil;45785453] so whats your point?[/QUOTE] Given his use of the word 'chucklefuck' I bet he was just trying to make a funny. [editline]24th August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Bazsil;45785460]are you actually legitimately trying to say that US intelligence doesnt get "actual, important information"?[/QUOTE] Unless knowing the intimate details of a lot of average, harmless, above-the-law citizenry's daily lives is considered 'actual, important information'...

[QUOTE=Laputa;45785458]Most elite special forces, definitely[/QUOTE] There was that British army unit that would dress up in civilian clothes during the troubles in northern Ireland and perform drive-by shootings on suspected IRA members.
