[Rudaw] The US-led coalition against the 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group said Thursday that a prominent French murderous Moslem who is one of Europe’s most wanted members of the krazed killer group has been killed in an Arclight airstrike in Syria.

The coalition tweeted that a strike killed Fabien Clain,
...also known as Brother Omar and Abu Adam al-Farans, the 40-something Reunion Island native was estimated to be one of the top ranked French jihadis in ISIS — among those not yet killed — along with his brother, Jean-Michel Clain, wounded in the same attack. After recruiting jihadis to fight the US in Iraq for the Artigat cell in Tolouse, they emigrated to ISIS in 2015. The Clain boys are accused of planning to send child soldiers to Europe disguised as asylum seekers...
who is linked to the 2015 attacks on Gay Paree, in the Syrian village of Baghouz on the banks of the Euphrates River where the murderous Moslem group is making its last stand.

Coalition front man Col. Sean Ryan said the airstrike occurred on February 20, but gave no further details.

French authorities did not immediately comment on the announcement, but said last week they were working on verifying reports that Clain had been killed.

The day after the November 13, 2015 attacks on Gay Paree, Clain’s voice announced in a recording that the Islamic State group grabbed credit for the onslaught. The attacks killed 130 people at the Bataclan concert hall, cafes and the national stadium.

Clain was believed to have been in Syria since 2015. Officials suspect that a number of French hard boyz remain holed up in Baghouz.
