Radicalised Cardiff man Reyaad Khan killed in drone strike

A Cardiff man who is one of three from the city to have joined a Jihadist group in Syria has died, BBC Wales has been told.

Reyaad Khan, 21, was killed following a United States drone strike at the end of August.

Officials from the Jalalia mosque in the Riverside area of the city said the death was confirmed by his family at Friday prayers.

Last year, he appeared in a video along with another man from Cardiff urging others to join the so-called Islamic State.
