Another one bites the dust. May there be many more.
News has come in that another Jihadi from Portsmouth has been killed by counterjihad forces in Syria.
Here’s what ITV news said about this case earlier today.
“A British jihadi from Portsmouth has been killed fighting in the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani, currently besieged by Islamic State (IS) militants.
The family of Mehdi Hassan, 19, confirmed to ITV News that gruesome pictures of his body on social media were authentic.
Hassan, who went by the name of Abu Dujana in Syria, attended a private Catholic school in Hampshire.
As a teen he was a keen reader of Roald Dahl and Harry Potter and had intended to study international politics at Surrey University.
But instead of arriving at university in September last year, he travelled to Syria to fight with four other young men from the Portsmouth area – to the horror of his shocked parents.
Three of the group are now dead, one is seriously injured, and one is in jail in Britain after returning from the war.
A statement from Hassan’s family said he had a “good heart” and was trying to “help Syrians”.
The family also suggested that the teenager had considered returning home from Syria but was worried by the threat of prosecution on terror charges.
We can confirm that this is indeed Mehdi Hassan. We request that the family be left to grieve.
Mehdi was a loving boy with a good heart wishing to help Syrians. In recent months he had expressed the intention to return home but was worried about the repercussions. This is a tragedy and a lesson.

MEHDI HASSAN’S FAMILY
My messasge to the family would be this: How on earth do you think that joining up with a bunch of theocratic fascists like ISIS was ‘helping the Syrians’. If this is what they describe as a ‘good hearted’ person I’d hate to see what they would describe as evil.
The more of these Islamofascist jihadis who are killed in foreign war zones the less there are available to trouble this unhappy world and also less of them to come back and trouble the United Kingdom. I try not to celebrate the deaths of others but for jihadis I will make an exception to that rule.
Reminds me of when black gangsters gets shanked – “‘E was a good boy, went to church, was going to be a brain surgeon, everyone loved him….”
BOLLOCKS.
The Boys of Blair and Israel.
What the fuck has Israel got to do with this? This savage chose to join the Islamofascists of ISIS and now he’s paid the price. Good riddance. BTW Israel is a damn lot more civilised than many of the savage shithole countries that border it. I wonder why? I do agree with you that Blair is a scumbag though.
No sympathy from me. Interestingly, the teenager made several broadcasts in which he expressed his fear to return to the UK. This suggests a partial conversion to the Jihadi mindset.
Which brings me to my point. He won’t be the first or last youth manipulated by politically motivated and evil preachers. The latter group does the most damage from safe positions in the shadows.
I’d like to see the police and security services kick down the doors of the mosques that these jihadis have come from and go through every computer file, every bit of paper and every other record that they’ve got like a dose of salts. I don’t believe for one minute the weasel words that are coming out of the managements of these Portsmouth mosques where these jihadis have emanated from.
