A German rapper turned Islamic State fighter notorious for holding a human head on camera has been killed fighting in Syria.
Denis Cuspert – known as Deso Dogg – was one of the so-called “gangsta jihadis” who travelled from European cities to join Isis after it declared a caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
Cuspert, 41, toured with the US rapper DMX in 2006 and was married briefly to an FBI translator assigned to monitor him.
He was killed on 17 January during clashes with anti-Isis forces in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria.
Previous reports of his death proved unfounded but this time a pro-Isis media network released pictures of his bloodied corpse, SITE, a US-based consultancy that monitors extremist propaganda, reported.
