Sources told British newspaper The Mirror that Mohammed Emwazi was terrified by the publicity he received after he was identified as the murderer of British and American hostages in some of the militant group’s videos and feared he was being hunted down.

The newspaper reported that the British radical is on the run because he is afraid he is no longer valuable to the Islamic State group. …

A source told The Mirror that Islamic State killers would drop Mr. Emwazi “like a stone or worse” if they feel he is no longer of any use to them.

“So it is possible he will end up suffering the same fate as his victims,” the source said.
