The FBI has identified the masked ISIS terrorist who appeared in the chilling videos showing the beheadings of American reporters James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines.

FBI Director James Comey would not reveal the name or nationality of the British-accented man who's become known as "Jihadi John."

He also wouldn't verify if the man was the one who killed the three hostages. While the footage shows the terrorist holding a long knife and appearing to cut the three men, the full beheadings were not shown.

According to the Washington Post, Jihadi John is of either Yemeni or Sudanese descent and grew up in an Arabic-speaking home in England.

Officials think he's somewhere in Syria, and they say finding him will be difficult.
