German rapper turned Islamist militant killed in Syria suicide attack
BEIRUT // A German former rapper who joined jihadists fighting in Syria has been killed in a suicide bombing carried out by rival fighters.
Denis Mamadou Cuspert, who rapped under the name Deso Dogg but took on the name Abu Talha Al Almani in Syria, was reported to have been killed in a suicide attack on Sunday in an eastern province.
He was a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and was reportedly killed in a double suicide bombing carried out by Al Nusra Front, a rival Islamist militant group that is Al Qaeda’s Syria affiliate.
Messages posted on militant internet forums announced his death.
“The Islamic nation is bleeding with the news of the martyrdom of the jihadist fighter, brother Abu Talha Al Almani. May he be accepted by God,” one message read.
“His death is the result of a suicide bombing carried out by the traitorous soldiers of (Nusra chief Abu Mohammed Al) Jolani against a house in which a number of ISIL brothers were staying,” it added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group, also reported the suicide attack carried out on Sunday.
“Two members of Al Nusra Front blew themselves up the day before yesterday, killing 16 ISIL fighters,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Abdel Rahman said a fighter known as Abu Talha was among those killed in the attack in Deir Ezzor province near the boundary with Hasakeh province.
Since early January, ISIL has been in open combat with Al Nusra and other Islamist and moderate rebel groups, who accuse it of abuses against rival opposition fighters as well as civilians.
Both ISIL and Al Nusra have reportedly targeted each other with suicide attacks
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said before that this multicultural thing isn’t working out so well.
She’s right. And they’ve done a better job of keeping the muslims out than most European nations.
Hey I hope it catches on in the U.S. All the lefty liberals will be at concerts thinking being Muslim is the greatest thing and reality will strike them for a 10th of a second.
One German parent, one Ghanian parent, as per Wikipedia
He blew himself up, and left the civilized West to do the deed. Kind of like taking care of one’s own mess.
We should thank him for being so considerate.
Ja, he blowed up real gut!
Does this go under the heading of “Darwin Award?”
Misleading title—a rival group blew him up in a suicide attack. Unless I’m misunderstanding the article.
muslims killing muslims......not a bad thing. At least these were not killing Jews and Christians at the time. One might even call it progress.
“- Self-Detonates Shortly Thereafter”
Not in article headline.
In the story he didn’t ‘self-detonate’. He was blown up by a rival faction.
Kaboom, kaboom, guess who stepped in the room, the S-S double double-U to the V-V.

Obviously not everyone like rap music.
The feel-good story of the day.
Great Pat Travers song. Saw him live in 79 or 80 in Dallas.
His favorite song was by Ronstadt
“Blew By You”
He liked Miles Davis, too - “Kind of Blew”
Let me guess: The mother is German, the father is an asylum-seeker, right?
