As reports surfaced Friday on the presumed death of “Jihadi John,” the ISIS militant who beheaded journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff in 2014, Foley’s mother speculated that he would be “devastated” about the revenge killing.
“Jim would have been devastated with the whole thing. Jim was a peacemaker; he wanted to figure out why this was all happening,” Diane Foley told ABC News.
The British-born ISIS fighter (real name: Mohammed Emwazi) is presumed dead after a drone strike in Syria on Thursday night. He was responsible for the killing of journalists and human aid workers throughout the Middle East.
