Abu Abdullah al-Habashi

Another one bites the dust.

Via Guardian:

A London man has been killed fighting for Islamic State (Isis), social media accounts linked to the extremist group have said.

Abu Abdullah al-Habashi was said to have died in fighting in and around the Syrian border town of Kobani.

He was born into a Christian family of Eritrean heritage and converted to Islam. The 20-year-old became a human propaganda machine for Isis, appearing in a video urging Britons to travel to Syria, another vowing the black flag of Isis would one day fly over the White House, and also appeared in a BBC interview.

He adopted the name Abu Abdullah al-Britani, and in one photo was pictured next to the corpse of a decapitated Syrian soldier.

At least 27 Britons have died fighting in Syria, and it is estimated that about 500 Britons may have joined Isis despite pleas for them not to.
