Jihadi John's head could soon be on the chopping block.
The FBI has identified the masked Islamic State executioner wanted for the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker. Videos of his murderous handiwork were slapped on the Internet.
“I believe we have identified him,” Director James Comey said Thursday during a briefing at FBI headquarters.

The announcement came as the U.S.-led coalition bombed ISIS targets in Syria for a third straight day. At the same time, New York was on edge after the new Iraqi prime minister announced there was a plot to attack subways in Paris and the United States. While city, state and federal officials vowed to investigate the alleged plot, there was no specific threat against New York.
Comey did not divulge the true identity of Jihadi John or say where the savage is from. Nor would the head G-man say whether investigators believe the sinister suspect personally killed 40-year-old James Foley, 31-year-old Steven Sotloff and British hostage David Haines, 44.
But the barbarian with the British accent is widely believed to be a Muslim militant from London.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said earlier in the week that investigators seeking to identify Jihadi John were “getting warm.”
They should be on fire.
Jihadi John has already been identified by several Brit papers as Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, a 23-year-old failed rapper who left London and joined the radical ISIS militants last year.And the heinous hip-hopper has a filthy pedigree.
Last week, his 54-year-old father, Adel Abdel Bary, tearfully pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court to conspiring to kill Americans and having a role in 1998 Al Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that left 224 dead.
