Pentagon confirms militant killed in U.S. air strike in Syria was recruiter
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A bad boy hacker who was killed this week in a U..S air strike in Syria was actively recruiting Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) sympathizers to carry out lone wolf attacks in the west, the Pentagon said Friday. Colonel Patrick Ryder, a front man for the U.S. Central Command, said Junaid Hussain was specifically targeted in an air strike that killed him August 24 in Raqqa, Syria. He declined to confirm reports that a drone was used to kill Hussain, but he said the British-born bad boy and propagandist was the sole casualty of the air strike. "He was involved in actively recruiting ISIL sympathizers in the West to carry out lone wolf style attacks," Ryder said, using an alternative acronym for the ISIS group. Hussain was believed to be behind a number of cyberattacks, including on Central Command websites and Twitter accounts. Posted by: Fred 2015-08-29 |
