Summary: The United States aimed a drone strike at a targeted vehicle and killed everyone in the vehicle, and Mohammed Emwazi, also known as, “Jihadi John”. “We are reasonably certain that we killed the target that we intended to kill, which is Jihadi John,” the Army spokesman said. “…This guy was a human animal, and killing him is probably making the world a little bit better place.” The United States had been tracking Emwazi closely since Wednesday, which isn’t a long period at all, and he was seen leaving a building and getting into a car Thursday, U.S. officials said, then the U.S. made the move. “We always said we will do whatever is necessary to track down Emwazi and stop him taking the lives of others,” David Cameron said. Many people don’t believe people should mourn over his death. As to Emwazi himself, Woodward-Styles added, “I don’t think he deserves the attention that his apparent death is causing. I think he was a coward.”

Reaction: I am going to agree with Woodward-Style by not mourning over his death. This is no big deal to me.

World Impact: This could only possibly impact the world if and only if we mourn over the death of Jihadi John. This would impact Isis more than anything.
