Oh, and no I dont believe the beheadings didn't happen, I just think that the way the videos cut to show just the beheaded head, that it might have been someone else who did the dirty job.
Whatever the case, one terrorist less hopefully.

Eh, it's a bit like Lord Haw-haw or to give him his proper name William Joyce, he was a propaganda tool, the face of Daesh to the west, so getting him is more of a message to those in the west who have sympathies towards Daesh. To those who are under Daesh influenced territory, it's debatable whether they will receive this news or it'll have a Daesh spin on it, probably focusing on the other passenger in the car with him, maybe making that person a young mother with a baby or something in the traditional 'Baby milk factory style'.
But yes, it is primarily aimed at the west.
