Is it possible that the recent terrorist attacks on Paris were due to the assassination of the Islamic States' infamous "Jihadi John"?

The attacks came several hours after the media announced that the U.S. had killed Jihadi John via drone strike.

Things to note:

Organized Attack
The terrorist attack seemed like an operation that was well planned. It involved several terrorists with different avenues of attacks (shooters, kidnapping, hostages, suicide vests, etc).

The Timing
The attack happened several hours after the reported assassination of notable IS member "Jihadi John".

Jihadi John
A British national and member of the Islamic State, gained notoriety when he released a series of brutal videos where he beheaded several foreign journalists.

Like many others herein, no, not in retaliation. However, the focus on Jihad John by the world may have prompted them to redirect the focus that they are still in control, per say.

No, these attacks were planned long before Jihad John, it was too coordinated.

Very interesting theory and something that might have to be concidered.

"Well planned"
"several hours after the reported assassination"

Seems like those two thoughts are in conflict if you're saying the attacks are retaliation. In my opinion, they were already planned, and the strike on Jihadi John was simply coincidental timing.
