Ex- Somalia PM ISIS nephew killed in Iraq

[AbdiJohnson]

The federal government says it is aware of reports that a Canadian has been killed in Iraq.

But the Foreign Affairs Department isn’t confirming it is Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a former Calgary resident the CBC has identified as having been radicalized in Canada and gone to the Middle East to fight for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The CBC cited multiple social media reports out of Iraq saying Mr. Shirdon has been killed.

Earlier this year, the network aired a propaganda video of Mr. Shirdon burning his Canadian passport and threatening U.S. President Barack Obama.

Foreign Affairs says it is monitoring the situation closely.

The department is advising against all non-essential travel to Iraq because of the “dangerous and unpredictable security situation” in the country.

Multiple social media reports in Iraq say that a young Calgary man who appeared in an ISIS video four months ago has been killed in Iraq.

Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a Calgarian fighting overseas with the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, was seen in the video burning his Canadian passport and threatening to destroy Iraq's oppressors.

The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is aware of reports that a Canadian was killed in Iraq and is following the situation closely.

A man claiming to be Shirdon's brother has been tweeting online — asking jihadi contacts for information on how Shirdon died.

Shirdon, who had been enrolled in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology until at least 2012, came from a prominent and well-educated Somali family.

His father’s brother, Abdi Farah Shirdon, was a former prime minister of Somalia who has survived numerous attempts on his life by al-Shabab militants fighting for an Islamic state in Somalia under the banner of al-Qaeda.

Shirdon’s mother and sister currently live in Calgary and are deeply involved in the religious life of their community. 

Attempts by CBC News to reach Shirdon's family have so far been unsuccessful.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told reporters following a news conference in London, Ont., he was aware of the reports but could not speak to the specific facts of the case.

"It's a sad reality that, from time to time, a small number of Canadians — radicalized — participate in these type of activities," Baird added.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising Canadians "against all non-essential travel to Iraq due to the dangerous and unpredictable security situation.”

His white friends were using him as dr frankenstein. Now i understand why he went to iraq and sham. He hoped to get laid by Nikah sex. He didnt expect death so soon lol

Making fun of the dead is totally unacceptable, no matter what they did during their life.

May his soul rest easy. I feel sorry for his parents. No mother wants her kids dead before her.
