A Sudanese student from Khartoum who travelled to Syria in March to join the Islamic State (IS) blew himself up on Sunday, the third day of Eid Al Fitr, in a suicide bombing.
Mustafa Osman Figeiri was reportedly among the first group of Sudanese students who travelled to Syria work as a medical team for the IS, also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh.
Sources said Figeiri, a British national, had become responsible for the IS pharmacies in Raqqa area before committing the attack.
He had studied pharmacology at the University of Medical Sciences and Technology in Khartoum, a private university established by Khartoum state minister of health Dr. Mamun Himeda.
Multiple students from Mamun Himeda’s university have travelled or attempted to travel to Syria to join IS.
