US military sources say they are confident the British militant known as Jihadi John has been killed in an air strike near Raqqa in Syria.
The strike was targeting a vehicle in territory held by the Islamic State, and the US says it had been tracking the militant.
Mohammed Emwazi became known as Jihadi John after appearing in several videos of beheadings of western hostages.
He was born in Kuwait but moved to the UK at the age of six.
Olly Barratt is outside the University of Westminster where he studied for a degree in IT.
