The Alabama-born terrorist known as “Omar the American” and “the rapping terrorist” has allegedly been killed by his fellow jihadists fighting for an al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, after a public spat between the man and the group's leadership.

Omar Hammami, also known as Abu Mansoor al-Amriki, was also known for producing several videos of him rhyming about waging war on the West and the glory of martyrdom.  Those videos played a part in his undoing.

“Hammami brought a lot of unwelcome outside scrutiny on Shabaab from the international jihadist community. His story will likely be a case study on what can go wrong when westerners join jihadist movements,” said J.M. Berger, who runs the website Intelwire.com.

The US had offered a $5 Million reward for his capture, but Hammami was reportedly killed by members of the al-Shabaab group on orders of its leader, with Hammami being a survivor of the losing faction of an internal power struggle.  No more.

Hammami grew up in a small town in America's rural south, the son of a Christian mother and a Muslim father, going to school and dances like the rest of his class.  Something changed in the middle of the last decade, and he ran off to Somalia to play jihadist.
