French Jihadist Dies in Iraq Suicide Attack
2014-05-24
[An Nahar] At least one French jihadist died recently in a suicide kaboom on a police post in the northern Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, informed sources said Friday.

The man, from the French Antilles and known by the pseudonym Abou al-Qaqa al-Faransi, died while fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original...
, the group said.

A French intelligence source confirmed the death saying the fact that the young man had crossed over to Iraq from Syria "was something new and not a general trend."

Sources said a second French national could have died in Iraq in similar circumstances and were trying to verify the information.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve recently said that 285 French citizens were fighting in Syria presently.
