The British jihadist who beheaded American journalist James Foley is reportedly planning to execute twenty more hostages.

The captives are reportedly the number of reporters who went missing after they were abducted by the IS extremists in Syria.

The terror group intends to use the kidnapped reporters as pawns in their battle to stop US air strikes on their terror fighters, the Daily Star reports.

There are high chances the English executioner dubbed "John The Jailer," who slashed US journalist James's throat on camera, may slaughter the hostages in a similar fashion.

John The Jailer is one of the three British jihadists known as The Beatles owing to their English backgrounds.

 

At present, they hold the responsibility to guard and execute Western hostages.

It is feared that more than 500 British Muslims have fled to the Middle East to join the Islamic State.

The Brit jihadists reportedly account for a quarter of the terror group's army of freedom fighters and have a reputation of being the most violent and bloodthirsty.
