You’re welcome, Germany.

A wanted spokesman for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has announced the death of a German IMU fighter who was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan last October. The German, who was identified as Ahmed, was eulogized by Yassin Chouka, another German who serves as a senior IMU operative and propagandist.
Chouka announced Ahmed’s death in a “video produced by the IMU’s media arm, Jundallah Studio, and posted on a jihadist website on March 18, 2013,” according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which obtained and translated the video. In the video, Ahmed is repeatedly described by Chouka as “the King of Setterich,” a reference to Ahmed”s home town in Germany. Chouka is a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and has announced the death of Germans in Pakistan in the past.
According to Chouka, Ahmed “died with two other mujahideen on 10 October 2012 in a drone attack.” The strike took place “on the day following his completion of explosives training.”
