FBI: Militant in beheading video identified
Comey, however, declined to name the man while agents from the United States and Britain were searching for him.
According to reports, the intelligence agencies used voice-recognition technology, overhead imagery and records of Western fighters who are believed to have joined the group in the effort to identify the killer.
The Islamic militant had first appeared in a video a month ago showing the beheading of James Foley. A second gruesome video showed the death of Steven J. Sotloff and that was released about two weeks later. Both the victims were freelance journalists.
