Suspected British associate of ISIL's 'Jihadi John' detained in Turkey: Report

A suspected associate of British ISIL leader 'Jihadi John' is being held by authorities in Turkey, Reuters quotes senior Turkish officials as sayingA suspected associate of British Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leader "Jihadi John" is being held by authorities in Turkey, Reuters quoted two senior Turkish officials as saying on Nov. 13, a day after the United States targeted the militant in an air strike in northern Syria. 

A man thought to be Aine Lesley Davis, one of a group of British Islamists believed to have been assigned to guard foreign prisoners in Syria, was detained in Istanbul, the officials said. 

They declined to give further details, saying investigations by the police and intelligence agencies were continuing.     

The U.S.-British missile strike believed to have killed "Jihadi John" came together at lightning speed, but was months in preparation. 

Shortly before midnight on Nov. 12, two U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones and one British MQ-9 cruised above Raqqa, the Syrian heart of the ISIL's self-declared caliphate that stretches deep into Iraq, U.S. officials said. 

The aircraft's controllers monitored two people who had entered a car. 

One, they were certain, was Mohammed Emwazi, the British computer programming graduate who catapulted to infamy in August 2014 when he presented the beheading of Americanjournalist James Foley, the first of several grisly videos in which he presided over the beheadings of foreign hostages. 

Brandishing a knife, dressed head to toe in black, and speaking with a London accent, Emwazi became known as "Jihadi John", the most potent symbol of the group's brutality and a high-value target for U.S. and British intelligence agencies.
