Could Facial Recognition Help ID Jihadi John?


Facial recognition software could be used to help identify the Islamic State militant thought to have killed a Briton and two Americans in propaganda videos.
Footage has been released over the last month apparently showing the murders of  US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid worker David Haines.
The IS militant - who speaks with a southern English accent and has been dubbed Jihadi John - shows only his eyes in all three videos, none of which have very high resolution.
