Asim Qureshi of campaign group Cage gestures as he addresses a press conference in London on February 26, 2015 in which he spoke of the history since 2009 of Kuwaiti-born London computer programmer Mohammed Emwazi, identified by experts and the media as masked Islamic State militant "Jihadi John". "Jihadi John", the masked Islamic State militant apparently responsible for beheading Western hostages, was named on February 26 by experts and the media. The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at London's King's College, a leading resource for studying foreign jihadists, said it believed the identity "to be accurate and correct".
