Foreign affairs is attempting to confirm that a 20-year-old Hamilton man was killed during anti-ISIS attacks from Kurdish forces in Northern Syria last week, reports the National Post.
The National Post reported that unnamed reports say Mohamud Mohamed Mohamud died fighting for Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS). Picture taken June 11, 2014. (Reuters)
Citing unnamed online reports, the Post reported Mohamud Mohamed Mohamud was a Somali-Canadian and former St. Thomas More Secondary School student from the West Mountain in Hamilton, and that he "disappeared" two months ago, phoning home to say that he joined his "brothers" in Syria.
The unnamed reports say he died fighting for Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS). He would be Canada's first reported jihadist killed since anti-ISIS military action, led by air strikes by U.S. forces last week, have amped up.
The Post report says the man, also known as "Mo3," lived with his mother, Asha, in Hamilton while his father lives in Minneapolis. It's believed that during a visit with his father in July, he left for the mosque but never returned home.
A Sept. 15 Voice of America report claims to have spoken with the unnamed father of Mohamud Mohamed Mohamud, who said he was "shocked" to learn his son left mid-July.
"My son was a student, he suddenly changed," the man told reporter Harun Maruf. "He used to pray but he increased it to 24 hours of prayers, and he was rarely away from mosques. He arranged his travel without my knowledge, and then he ended up in Syria. All of us [in the family] are very saddened. We did not expect he would do this."
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada did not immediately return calls Wednesday.
