msc 17,762 Posted February 18, 2017 He means that YoungWillz usually collates the hits in one place for the very busy host, but that if your chap has died, been confirmed by both sides (terrorist thing), and got a Qualifying Obit, he'll appear in a future round up. YW being good at spotting the non-household names deaths... Is there a QO yet, though? I see his death in the Independent (no longer a QO), but elsewhere it's still the old "believed to be dead" stories, I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,098 Posted February 18, 2017 Well, this is a tricky one, isn't it? Last year we had Al-Shishani. US sources confirmed he was killed in one place at one time, then later in the year reports indicated that ISIS confirmed he was killed somewhere else on a different date. As there wasn't any qualifying source which made the two sides' stories coincide, he got nothing, even though as far as the world was concerned he was dead. This is different isn't it? The headlines scream Kassim has been killed, but reading the stories the position isn't exactly clear. All the stories talk about there being no absolute confirmation of death, yet report the DNA tests confirm he has been killed and report the release of a recording released by ISIS after his death. It's crazy to pick terrorists, one day they are dead and next they are up and walking around. I'm inclined to add Kassim to the round up (completely unofficial, just helping out) as the qualifying sources do indicate (i) US sources confirm via DNA he has been killed; and (ii) ISIS have released a recording after his death. It's up to TMIB ultimately once he has reviewed the stories but I think there's enough there, isn't there? He kind of passed me by as the initial reports (which said there was no absolute confirmation of death) were posted here, rather than in the main forum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
