BEIRUT - A U.S.-led coalition strike against Islamic State’s last territorial stronghold in eastern Syria killed veteran French jihadist Fabien Clain, who voiced a recording claiming the November 2015 attacks on Paris, the coalition has said.
Clain became known as the French voice of Islamic State after he read out the six-minute statement claiming the worst attack in France since World War Two. In the recording, a man, believed to be his brother, gave a rallying cry to music for Muslims to fight the infidels “without ever capitulating”. Clain is a longtime militant, jailed in the past for recruiting jihadist fighters and believed by French authorities to have fled to Syria in 2015.
Clain converted to Islam in the late 1990s. Like his younger brother, he is believed by French police to have become radicalised in the early 2000s when he lived in the southern city of Toulouse where he frequented radical networks.
