Terrorists will always make mistakes...
... and it's usually those mistakes that bring them down.

When the ISIS terrorist who murdered James Foley went on video, he managed to give away enough clues that may lead to his identity, even though he was clad in black with his face almost entirely masked.

His accent indicates that he was from south/east London and his eyes may even narrow down the hunt. Authorities can scan tons of audio recordings in the UK and match eye features to those recorded in passport photos. They've determined his age to be around 30 and that he's probably left handed.

When Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Olympics, the Mossad set out to identify, hunt down and kill those who committed the crime or had anything to do with it. Even though their faces were also masked, the Mossad identified who they were and managed to kill all but one of them, who is still alive till this day.

It will be interesting to see whether America's FBI or the UK's MI6 can accomplish the same thing. More likely, this terrorist will meet his doom either among the Iraqis or a missile attack by the US.
