The British Hacker Who Became the Islamic State’s Chief Terror Cybercoach :: A Profile of Junaid Hussain / Recurso electrónico [PDF] .-- : CTCSentinel , Apr. 2018 .-- Recurso online, 8 p.

Until his death in a U.S. drone strike in August 2015, Junaid Hussain was the Islamic State’s most prolific English-language social media propagandist, working to incite and guide sympathizers in the United Kingdom, United States, and beyond to launch terrorist attacks. Before joining the jihad in Syria, Hussain was part of a hacking collective in the United Kingdom, focusing much of his attention on perceived injustices against Muslims. In many respects, he was well integrated into British society with his family home in a leafy suburb of Birmingham. A spell in prison contributed to his radicalization and his decision to move to Syria, where he married fellow extremist Sally Jones.
