A rapping jihadi from Alabama who ascended the ranks of Somalia's al-Qaida-linked militant group and was on the FBI's Most Wanted list with a $5 million reward for his capture was killed Thursday in an ambush ordered by the militant group's leader, militants said.

Omar Hammami, a native of Daphne, Alabama, who was known as Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or "the American," died in southern Somalia following several months on the run after a falling-out with al-Shabab's top leader, the militants said.

Reports of Hammami's death crop up every few months in Somalia, only for him to resurface a short while later. But a U.S. terrorism expert who closely follows the inner workings of al-Shabab says he thinks that the current reports of the death are accurate.

[dfwgator]

Maybe P Diddy did it, he likes killing other rappers.

Okay, where my $5 mil?..............

Omar Hammami, a native of Daphne, Alabama . . .

No he isn't. Find any real Alabaman who will claim him.

There is no such thing as an "American Jihadi." You are either one or the other.

Well, Ape Pee, we're depending on you to diligently dig until you get to the truth of this story.

American jihadi Killed In Somalia

On jihadi is a small start but at least it’s a start.

There are plenty more American jihadis right here if the Somalis are interested in pumping the number.

They would never trust any American.

Ahhh..an Amended Post; seems you can't even trust your jihad-ish brethren.

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me
against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family
against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe
against the world and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, "The Haj"

Thanks markomalley.

...rapping jihadi... Omar Hammami... of Daphne, Alabama... known as Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or "the American," died in southern Somalia following several months on the run after a falling-out with al-Shabab's top leader... a U.S. terrorism expert who closely follows the inner workings of al-Shabab says he thinks that the current reports of the death are accurate.

He looked out the window and what did he see, a big gang of killers making him go kablooey...

[dfwgator]

Now he has street cred, at least.

[SunkenCiv]

Yup, street cred, ceiling cred, wall cred...

[SunkenCiv]

A chip-in to get more of these “native American” jihadis to go to Somalia might be in order.

[Little Ray]

I hope it hurt.

My nephew was in high school with him. He was recruited in college according to an article I read once. But who knows.
