Two British-born medics who appeared in Isis propaganda videos when they went to Iraq to help create the so-called Muslim “Caliphate” have died in separate incidents near Mosul, it has been reported by IB Times.
Ahmed Sami Khider, from London, and Hisham Fadlallah, from Nottinghamshire, died near Mosul at the weekend (25-26 February), according to the BBC and Reuters.
“There is a really good medical service being provided here, lots of hospitals … paediatric hospitals, with specialised doctors,” said Khider in a 2015 ISIS propaganda video. “Dear brothers and sisters, we as Muslims and as doctors have a great responsibility. All you are doing is sitting in the West in the comfort of your homes. Use your skills and come here.”
The Foreign Office has not yet been able to confirm the deaths but Khider’s parents have reportedly travelled to Khartoum for a period of mourning.
