By Idrees Ali and Mariam Karouny WASHINGTON/BEIRUT (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Friday it was "reasonably certain" a drone strike had killed Jihadi John, Islamic State's "lead executioner" and a symbol of the militant group's brutality. British Prime Minister David Cameron said he could not yet confirm the death of Mohammed Emwazi, who had become known as Jihadi John after appearing in videos showing the killings of U.S. and British hostages. "If this strike was successful -- and we still await confirmation of that -- it will be a strike at the heart of ISIL (Islamic State)," Cameron said in a statement broadcast live on British television from outside his London residence.

Of course Cameron is wrong : the dead of an executioner is not a strike at the heart of ISIS, there are hundreds of such people waiting to replace Jihad John .

The death of Heydrich was also not a strike at the heart of the Third Reich .
