>A documentary being broadcast on Monday reveals for the first time details of how Jihadi John, whose real name was Mohammed Emwazi, was hunted down and killed in 2015 with the help of state-of-the-art tracking and identification technology. Colonel Steve Warren, the Pentagon spokesman at the time, tells the programme: 'Because of the conditions — it was night — we were using infrared. 'You can't see his face but we could sort of see how he moved, the cut of his jib, so to speak. The angle of his beard, these things we could see. 'Eventually we were convinced that this is Jihadi John. And so the floor commander at the time orders, 'Take the shot.'
>Drones had been searching for the ISIS terrorist for a year but any attempt to wipe him out was made difficult because he always surrounded himself with women and children and made sure he was in crowded areas. General Richard Barrons, former Commander Joint Forces Command, who was involved in the operation, told us: 'We identified Emwazi very quickly after the execution videos he appeared in but finding him was much harder because we did not have any people on the ground in Raqqa. 'The tracking was all done electronically but eventually, it was his beard and the way he walked that gave him away.'
>He first appeared in August 2014 when he killed American journalist James Foley. Officials at GCHQ knew within a matter of hours that it was Emwazi, establishing his identity through voice recognition technology and comparing the pattern of the veins in his left hand in which held a knife pointed directly towards the camera with images of him in archive photographs. GCHQ used recordings of his voice from previous wire taps taken during a three-year surveillance operation and compared it to the disguised voice used in the ISIS video. Emwazi's identity was not publicly confirmed until February 2015.
>Once the hunt for him was underway, Emwazi used his background as a former computer science student at Westminster University to evade American and British authorities. He used encryption programmes, private networks and wiped clean every computer he ever sent messages on. He was eventually discovered after he contacted his wife and child who lived in Iraq, kicks staring a year-long hunt. Douglas Wise, who helped oversee the CIA's Middle East operations, compared the mission to locate Emwazi to searching for a 'needle in a haystack full of needles.' He said: 'If he had any hope for survival he had to blend in to the citizens of Raqqa. He had to look from a distance just like them.'
>The programme also traces Emwazi's life in Britain after arriving as a six-year old from Kuwait and shows rare footage of his time at school. He attended Quintin Kynaston Community Academy, in St John's Wood, North London, where he was bullied for having bad breath and is filmed constantly holding his hand over his mouth. Emwazi had been under surveillance by MI5 until he disappeared in 2012, before emerging as the ISIS executioner dubbed 'Jihadi John' two years later. MI5 even made an unsuccessful attempt to recruit him as an informant before he fled to Syria.

I don't know whch is worse – CIAniggers blowing up some innocent rando just so they could brag, or them being able to find a guy on the other side of the world through sheer amount of surveillance they have access to, even if they guy is being careful to hide his trace.
Also why the fuck did they even organize a hunt like that in 2015? There were tens of thousands of ISIS cunts in Syria and Iraq alone in 2015, it's not like they needed to expend any amount of resources to find some ISIS to kill – there were quite clearly estabilished frontlines. Raqqa in 2015 was the de facto capital of ISIS so it's not like they tracked some lone wolf prepping to blow up some civvies either. So why was this one specific dude targeted? Just so CIAniggers could go "we avenged that guy who got killed on TV, we killed the grunt that murdered him"?

Anon, the issue here is, you wouldn't hear about it if they made a mistake. They aren't going to brag about fucking up. Hell, US has been caught multiple times as claiming the civilians it killed were enemy combatants, even though there was firm evidence to the contrary, so it's not like this would be without precedent. It is entirely possible they blew a dozen civvies who simply had the wrong kind of beard before happening on the right guy. The methods do matter, in fact they matter more than whether or not some irrelevant ISIS grunt got killed or not

Ah I see what you are saying. It would be up to the families of people who were unjustly murdered to prove it.
I dont know the specific law but its probably dealt with similar to civilian casualties in an air strike or something like that.
I was talking specifically about Jihadi John.
It seems like they got the right guy. If they did, then it doesnt really matter how they picked him out.
And if they got the wrong guy, then he could make a video of him cutting off more heads and the US would be very embarrassed.

That's actually what happens, and quite often, only it gets memoryholed most of the time, with the US simply denying everything and leaving it at that. Some high profile cases made it into the media, though, like when US bombed a wedding, or when they bombed a school (both in Afghanistan) or when they shoah'd some Iraqi's whole family and then posted it on YT to brag, claiming his house was a VBIED factory. Most of the time, though, the family finds it impossible to prove – how do you prove someone is NOT a terrorist? In court, the borden of proof would be on US to prove the guy was ISIS, but here, it's turned on its head – how do you prove someone was not something? The parametres US military uses to kill "terrorists" via drone were shown to be as broad as "adult male within the area where terrorists operate" meaning that if your region is under ISIS control, and your dad happens to pick the wrong time to go on a stroll outside, he'll get bombed, and you're suddenly supposed to prove he didn't belong to ISIS, from within ISIS controlled territory and with no police or legal assistance. You won't be able to, which is what the US military counts on when they mark your bombed dad as "Daesh militant" to boost their statistics of how they killed bajillion gorillions of terrorists this month.

The purpose of drones isn't killing, they are psychological warfare alone. They use things like the boogeyman to scare children, they used to use the secret police to scare you into silence. They think such things are too old fashioned, now we have the magical "drone", and think about it, the government always talks about drones when talking about people who speak of rebellion or resistance. Always the drones, not the tanks, not the big 6 inch guns that do all the killing, not airstrikes, but the mysterious and everpresent drones.
Personalized attacks and threats are the best, the State also wants you to think its omnipresent and omnipotent. Glorious State knows everything you do, and when Big Brother hears about it a drone will quietly fly into your house while you sleep, rape your dog and drop a TOW missile on your head. Remember the State has like ten million drones per citizen, so even if you shoot down one with a shotgun, like a billion are going to swarm you and wait till you sleep to murder you while you slumber. No, Big Brother won't send in troops so you can fight and make casualties and make a point, Big Brother is going to send in the magical drones to get you, inhumae little things you can't fight and win against, magical flying spectres, not the big black van with secret police, not Keyser Soze, no boogeyman you might fight against.
The current people in charge think the Drone is the ultimate police state weapon, its an empty threat but they think its a damn good threat. Even an unarmed shitposter might just pick up a kitchen knife and fight, or deal with or escape from, or otherwise come to terms with a human dealing with their case or trying to bring them in. But, a drone is not human, so it scares a lot of people. Also they are trying to build the great lie that the AI is so smart it will spot everything you do and be triggered and will come and murder you as soon as you do wrong, no more agents or detectives working on cases you might fool. No more people and their slowness and inefficiency; no, the magical drones will use facial recognition and spot you for your wrongthink and hunt you down and machine gun you to death.
Drones, in reality, aren't a weapon they are a psychological tactic. They are the boogeyman, oni, demons, an earlking, trolls, goblins, gremlins, they are a scary story told to the children to scare them.
Why do you think they are talking about facial recognition so much in this obviously fake story? Why are they talking about how the drone could just hunt him down out of nowhere? Why is it in every piece addressing rebellion in the west drones are always mentioned, or only mentioned? If these drones are so effective, why did they lose in Afghanistan, why can't they stabilize Iraq?
The entire drone thing, the way it pushed, if anything suggest to me that the States are getting weaker and are more fearful.

It probably wasn't out of nowhere. I'm guessing they found where he was living or working because he got snitched on or NSA pwned him and they don't want to specify how. Then the US just sat a fixed wing drone over his house and waited for him to walk outside. The beard thing's only believable if the guy had one of those goofy Mount and Blade beards some of them get over there, or it was a case of "two guys live here, one has a small beard, the target has a big beard." It wasn't machine recognition, it's just that some of the guys that monitor the drone footage are savants at that stuff. They were probably pretty certain before pulling the trigger, but then again CIA is always way sketchier than other organizations working in the area.

>The United States Government denied that civilians were killed in the incident. An investigation by the Afghan Government disagreed and determined that 47 civilians, including the bride, had been killed.
(US actually bombed more than one wedding party in Afghanistan, so you're likely to find more instances than just this one)
the school, turns out, was bombed by Afghanian proxies, so idk if it counts, but here's a source anyway
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/04/afghan-air-attack-kills-children-kunduz-religious-school-180403064510386.html

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/16/magazine/uncounted-civilian-casualties-iraq-airstrikes.html
As for rules on drones…
Here's one, about how (((they))) kiked their way to essentially be able to assassinate anyone they want (americans included):
http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/04/16843014-justice-department-memo-reveals-legal-case-for-drone-strikes-on-americans
As for civilian casualties:
>"there's also been some dispute over the way civilian casualties are counted. The CIA often counts able-bodied males, military-age males who are killed in strikes as militants, unless they have concrete evidence to sort of prove them innocent, and some folks at the State Department and elsewhere have questioned that kind of a process." As a result, most adult males living in Waziristan seem to be viewed as militants and targets until the CIA rates them to be innocent, he added.
