“American Jihadi Reportedly Killed in Somalia”

SNIPPET: “Alabama native Omar Hammami had been on the run trying to evade the terrorist group after falling out with the terror group’s leadership.

“There was a gun battle between [Hammami] and his men and other fighters,” Maolim Ali, a resident in Bardhere, Somalia told Agence France Presse. British jihadist Osama al-Britani also reportedly died in the attack by al-Shabbab gunmen.

Hammami grew up as a Baptist before converting to Islam and becoming president of the Muslim Students Association at the University of South Alabama. He became one of the most notorious foreign fighters in Somalia, known as Abu Mansour al-Amriki [”the American”]. He was under indictment in the United States, designated as an international terrorist and had a $5 million reward offered by the U.S. State Department for his capture.

Somalia has attracted dozens of Western fighters, including more than 10 Canadians and two dozen Americans, mostly from the Minneapolis area. Several others are known to have died – some at the hands of al-Shabaab and at least in a suicide bombing by the group.”
