5. Well, the pro-Daesh portal is why I posted it, but they might lie.

Would lie, I mean. Nobody keeps looking for guys that are dead. And daily mail is useless.

On the other hand you would expect US media to make a point of it, once sure it was true.

So I have to wait for a confirm from Western media.
