American Fighting for ISIS Is Killed in Syria


Douglas McAuthur McCain



WASHINGTON — Like many teenage boys who grew up 
in the Midwest in the 1990s, Douglas McAuthur McCain 
was a fan of Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and 
loved to play basketball....
But as he grew older, he lost interest in basketball as he 
shuttled between two suburban Minneapolis high schools. 
He never graduated, and in his late teens, he began to 
have run-ins with the law. In the decade that followed, 
he was arrested or cited nine times on charges including theft, 
marijuana possession and driving without a license.
Mr. McCain moved back and forth from Minneapolis to San Diego 
and then abroad. Officials now know he ended up in Syria, 
where three days ago, Mr. McCain became the first American 
to die while fighting for the Islamic State 
in Iraq and Syria. He was 33.
The rebels who killed him were fighting for the Free Syrian Army, 
a rival group backed by the United States, and they went on to behead 
six ISIS fighters — but not Mr. McCain — 
and then posted the photographs on Facebook.  ... [...] nytimes.com
