The terrorist who threatened to raise the flag of Allah in the White House is apparently dead.
“Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones,” Abu Mosa, a press person for the Islamic State, told Vice Media in an interview posted last Thursday. “Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq.”
“We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House,” he continued.
A week later, Mosa has been killed by an airstrike in Syria, according to tweets from the State Department and a pro-ISIS Twitter account.
“This brother Abu Moussa was martyred during missile clashes from the #SAA in the #Taqba airbase in #Raqqa #Syria,” a pro-IS account tweeted late Wednesday.
