Salman Ashrafi, killed in 2013 suicide attack, lived in same building as 4 other extremist fighters.
Homegrown extremism abroad has a new face, and CBC News has learned it belongs to yet another Calgary man, a development that points to the West as a hotbed for exporting jihadis.

Only then, he was known as Abu Abdullah Al Khorasani.
CBC News has confirmed that Al Khorasani was Ashrafi's nom de guerre and that he was a Canadian citizen who grew up in the Stampede City, where he went to school and worked.

Dear Canada;
If your nationals are travelling abroad and participating in terrorism and you know/ackknowledge it, then you are officially an exporter of terrorism. Clean up your side of the street before you talk trash.
ALL western countries are exporting terrorism now. This kid is not the first convert to go on a killing spree, nor will be the last.
Canada Ping!
