Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
A British citizen who intelligence officials say was a head of terrorist group ISIS’ cyberwarfare division has been killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Juaniad Hussain, also called Abu Hussain al-Britani, died in an airstrike in Raqqa, Syria. U.S. officials say they have a “high level of confidence” that Hussain is dead.
Hussain has been confirmed as the target of the attack as he moved in a convoy. The strike was part of a 48 hour campaign aimed at the terrorist’s power structure in their self-proclaimed capital.
“This is a great intelligence success,” one U.S. official told CNN.
Cybersecurity experts say that while Hussain was more of a nuisance than serious hacker, he was especially dangerous in recruiting hackers and others to join the terrorist group.
“He wasn’t a serious threat. He was most likely a nuisance hacker,” Adam Meyers, vice president of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, told the London Independent. “It was his involvement in recruitment, communications and other ancillary support that would have made him a target.”
Hussain had spent six months in prison for hacking the personal address book of British Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2012. He left for Syria soon after the sentence.
