Douglas McArthur McCain, an American citizen from California, was killed over the weekend fighting for the extremist Islamic State in Syria, NBC News reported Tuesday. The Free Syrian Army, the rebel faction that fought the militants (aka ISIS), discovered they had killed an American when they found $800 in cash and a U.S. passport on McCain's body.
The revelation that McCain, 33, was among the Muslim extremists comes two months after 15 Somali-Americans from Minnesota were believed to have linked up with ISIS in Syria. Senior Obama administration officials told NBC that dozens of Americans are believed to be fighting with various jihadist groups, a "handful" of them with ISIS, which has killed thousands of Yazidis in northern Iraq as well as American journalist James Foley.
McCain was active on social media, where he went by the name "Duale Khalid" on Twitter and "Duale ThaslaveofAllah" on Facebook. His Twitter bio reads "It's Islam over everything," and a tweet from May 14 says he "reverted to Islam to 10 years ago" and called it "the best thing that ever happen [sic] to me."
