Well Mosul has fallen to the allied forces and we're still no closer to finding John.

Are you out there looking for him then? Good man yourself. How many of you are involved and which bits have you looked in so far?

Seconded. Fingers crossed he's being moved about by those idiots and still alive but hope's fading at the mo.

Probably just having a bad day.

Back on topic I hope John gets out of this alive. I barely remember him despite buying Fast Bikes and the others back in the day but reading this thread has been interesting. Fingers crossed!

5th Anniversary. I am touched by his story and am making this comment to encourage his friends and supporters, and in the hope that he survives his predicament.

ISIS is all but finished and no sign of him?

Not looking good.

I think it'll be a miracle if we see him again, sadly.

I feared that this would be the outcome, but I hope that it's not true. His last broadcast was too long ago so it wasn't looking good.

Link has stopped working.

I did a bit of internet searching a week or so ago and the speculation was that he hadn’t survived the battle for Mosul 12 months ago.

Sad to hear/read the latest update. Really disliked seeing this thread pop to the top of the forum topics as I expected things to end badly. very sorry for his family, any positive might be to allow them to move on but its little comfort.

From the tone of that article, it sounds like he's gone native with Daesh for now - whether that's a survival tactic or a real conversion, who knows. Be interesting what surfaces in the next couple of weeks.
