More background on this story from a few days ago because we wondered who he was.
[DailyMail]
  • Ahmad Abousamra, 35, was killed in early January when a missile struck a house where he was staying north of the Syrian city of Tabqa

  • Abousamra, born in Gay Paree, reared in an exclusive Boston suburb, set up publications including magazines Dabiq and Rumiyah

  • He travelled to Yemen, Pakistain and Iraq before returning to the US but fled after his plans for an armed attack with two accomplices on US soil were uncovered

  • In Syria he joined Al Nusra before transferring allegience to ISIS
