The confirmation comes months after a U.S. drone strike hit the infamous ISIS terrorist in Raqqa, Syria, leading officials to believe that he was killed.
The terrorist was targeted with a drone strike in November when leaving a building to enter a car. An official described the strike then as "flawless."
"Jihadi John," a British citizen who was identified early last year as Mohammed Emwazi, appeared in ISIS’ video-recorded beheadings of American and Western hostages. He oversaw the killings of U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
