Midday Roundup: Do you know this ISIS jihadi?

Wanted man. The FBI is asking for the public’s help in identifying an American man who appears in an ISIS recruiting video shooting purported Syrian army soldiers. The man switches fluently between English and Arabic and appears to have a Midwest accent. “We’re hoping that someone might recognize this individual and provide us with key pieces of information,” said Michael Steinbach, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. “No piece of information is too small.” The video, which is 55 minutes long, is designed to lure Westerners to join the militants’ cause. Officials estimate only about 12 Americans are fighting with ISIS at the moment. The terror group has a larger contingent of Britons, including the man shown beheading U.S. and British hostages on videos posted online in the last two months.

Hazard pay protest. Burial teams are back on the job in Sierra Leone today after striking yesterday to protest a lack of hazard pay. The teams, totaling 600 people, are responsible for collecting bodies of Ebola victims. In Liberia, burial teams say they plan to strike if the government doesn’t meet their demands for more money and protective gear by the end of the week. Health workers aren’t well-paid in any of the West African countries battling the Ebola epidemic, but they bear the brunt of the risk for contracting the deadly disease, which has killed more than 3,400 people so far.

Grounded. California officials have grounded the state’s fleet of 22 air tankers after one of the planes crashed yesterday while battling a blaze in Yosemite National Park. The pilot, the only person aboard the plane, died in the accident. The tanker fleet is made up of old Navy aircraft retrofitted to fight fires. Each plane can carry up to 1,200 gallons of flame retardant. Although investigators are still trying to determine what happened, witnesses said the plane flew into the wall of a canyon while trying to drop its load on the fire.

Gerrymandered. A federal court on Tuesday ruled Virginia’s congressional district map was unconstitutional and ordered state legislators to try again. The map, which concentrated African-American voters into one district, was drawn primarily based on racial factors, the judges said. Lawmakers must come up with a new map by April, but this year’s elections will proceed using the current map. The judges ruled trying to make a change this close to Election Day would be too disruptive to the political process.

Breakfast battle. The descendants of the woman who allegedly served as the model for the Aunt Jemima breakfast brand are suing Quaker Oats for $2 billion. Anna Short Harrington’s great-grandchildren claim the company promised to pay her a portion of the profits from their pancake and syrup products. They also claim Quaker Oats stole recipes from Harrington in the 1930s. The company says the claims are baseless and insists the “Aunt Jemima”character was never based on any one person but was designed to be a compilation. Quaker Oats denies it had a contract with Harrington that it never honored.
