A second American reportedly killed fighting with the Islamic State group in Syria has been identified as Abdirahmaan Muhumed, of Minneapolis, two sources told Fox News late Wednesday.
KMSP-TV in Minneapolis reported that Muhumed was killed in the same battle as Douglas McAuthur McCain, who grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope and most recently lived in San Diego. The State Department confirmed McCain's death earlier this week, but spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the U.S. has no independent confirmation of the second American's death. "We're looking into it," she said.
A source told Fox News that Muhumed's family had been sent a photo of his body from Syria, but had not been formally notified by the State Department. Fox News was unable to contact the family.
A profile of Muhumed by Minnesota Public Radio this past June described him as a 29-year-old Somali-American who had been married more than once and was a father of nine children. MPR reported, citing the FBI, that at least 15 young men from the Twin Citites' Somali-American community had traveled to Syria to join Islamic State, the militant group formerly known as ISIS that has captured wide swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.

“Soft Target” bump
Two down, hopefully many more to go.
Busy little b*stard.
I think this is a good start. How many Somalis can we send? I know a bunch of Kenyans and Ethiopians who would contribute to airfare.
Muhumed is an American every bit as much as Hussein is.....
Unfortunately he was about 9 children too late to be removed from the gene pool.
Anyone want to bet that he was able to go to fight for ISIS because our government has been providing for his wives and children?
It’s like he was being paid by our government to go to behead Christians and Jews.
Why do these low lifes keep giving their names exotic spellings?
Douglas Mcuthur instead of MacArthur
Now, a we have a dead guy who spells his names as MUHUMED.
Has Ellison said anything about these terrorists? Does he have any connection to the high school where these 3 terrorists and perhaps at least one other seem to have been recruited?
EITC bomb bags.
The government needs to take the kids away or kill them now.
I am not going to cry over any report of dead terrorists. I just wish I could send money for weapons and know they would be used exclusively against ISIS and other terrorists.
Any surprise Franken is ahead in the polls. Geez, I need to find a way out of this place.
