‘I want to rest in the afterlife, in heaven’ – Al Qaeda releases video of smiling American suicide bomber in Syria

Some loser from Florida found his purpose in life fighting alongside Al Qaeda and becoming the first American suicide bomber in the war between Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and John McCain’s favorite terrorist insurgents.

Watch below:

From Arab News:

The Nusra Front released the new video late Friday showing American citizen Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, 22, with other fighters before the May 25 attack that targeted several army positions at the same time. It said two of the other three suicide attackers in the assault in the government-held northwestern city of Idlib were from foreign countries, including one who was identified as being from the Maldives.

Abu-Salha appears smiling in the video and speaks in broken Arabic.

“I want to rest in the afterlife, in heaven. There is nothing here and the heart is not resting,” Abu-Salha says. “Heaven is better. When people die they either go to heaven or hell. There is happiness beyond explanation.”

The video, released by Nusra Front’s media arm, Al-Manara Al-Baydha, was posted on jihadi websites. It corresponded with Associated Press reporting about the attack and Abu-Salha.

Opposition forces previously identified the American who carried out the bombing as Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki and said he was a US citizen. The name Al-Amriki means “the American” in Arabic.

Can’t say the world is gonna miss him.
