Deso Dogg Passed Away!

Denis Cuspert died one year ago in an American drone strike.

One year too late. Still relevant to this day.

Be warned graphic photos.

There are western-born members of the Islamic State. They leave their normal lives to take up fighting for the violent terrorist group. The United States and many UN-member nations declare the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant as a jihadist militant group.

Somehow, I must have missed this. A year ago, the German rapper turned Islamic State spokesman Denis Cuspert was killed in an apparent drone strike.

There were videos showing the lifeless body of the 42-year old rapper. He left Germany and the hip-hop community to join the Syrian Civil War. He became a loyal supporter of the Salafi doctrine of Sunni Islam.

He changed his name to Abu Talha al-Almani and stood firm in the fight against western forces.

The United States Department of State had added Cuspert to its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorist who are to be red flagged upon entry to other countries.

One year ago to this day, the Islamic State's Wafa Media reported that Cuspert was killed during clashes in Gharanij. However, it seems like an American drone strike killed him.

Born in Germany, Cuspert spoke German, English and Arabic. He was affiliated with DMX and had rapped on tour.

When he was in Syria, he would be seen often narrating videos in German and English.

He survived the first airstrike. He was wounded during fighting in Azaz. He would also survived an airstrike in Raqqa.

This time, he wasn't so lucky. He died in city of Gharanij in the Deir ez-Zor province.

I remember Cuspert wooed an American woman into sex. This American woman was an operative for the FBI. She was in love with Cuspert and he made her look foolish. Daniela Greene was sent to track him down.

She would end up communicating with him and finding his story interesting. She would marry Cuspert and try to enlist in the Islamic State. After a few months in the Islamic State, Greene found it to be too extreme.

She would end up exiting the group. She found the U.S. Consulate and confess to her joining the Islamic State. She served two years in federal time out before she was released. Greene had stayed low since her release.
