(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Reuters quoted a US source as saying that an air strike carried out by a US drone killed an ISIS prominent “hacker” in Syria.
The source said that the US Department of Defense, “Pentagon” is probably involved in the strike that killed the British hacker, Junaid Hussein, who was a Biritsh citizen living in Birmingham, England.
US and European government sources said they believe that Hussein is the leader of “the electronic caliphate,” a group of electronic piracy attacked in January, an account on Twitter belonging to the US Department of Defense.
Hussein spent some time in jail in 2012, after he had broke through the account of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
