US-led coalition airstrikes seems to have caught up to a French foreign fighter who was peddling advanced bomb-making skills for an Al Qaeda cell in Syria.
According to credible reports told to VOA, the Khorasan Group’s David Drugeon likely was killed in early July, in the intensified package of drone strikes targeting him and other senior commanders of Khorasan.
Drugeon was an expert bomb maker and had been working on devices such as non-metallic improvised explosive devices (IEDs) extremely hard to detect.
The death of French-born David Drugeon, a member of the Khorasan group of Al Qaeda terror network, would be a significant setback for the organization.
Al Qaeda terrorist group focuses much on spectacular attacks on the West, coalition foreign troops and western country’s installations.
Report of Drugeon being killed in the airstrikes have also been posted on Twitter by a well-known jihadist, indicating that he did not escape last month’s strike near Aleppo.
The Counter Extremism Project has indicated that the 25 year old Drugeon converted to Islam at the age of 13 and later studied Arabic and Islamic studies in Egypt.
He is believed to have crossed over to Pakistan in 2010 where he trained for jihad and developed his bomb-making expertise.
