A former world champion kickboxer who left his home and family in Germany to join up with Middle East jihadists has died in Syria, Swiss television reported on Monday, citing his brother.
The 29-year- old father of two Valdet Gashi and a German of Albanian ancestry, was a two-time champion in world mixed martial arts and was from the German state of Bavaria. He became a jihadist, left his family behind and joined ISIS in Syria in January this year.
He tried to deceive his family by telling him them he was in Bangkok, even posting photos on FB, but after reports of him joining the terror group emerged, he asked his family to not ‘judge’ him, saying “If I die while doing good, I of course will be glad.”. He reportedly died last weekend…
