Rashed Abi Zeid, also known as “Abu Adam,” was a Sidon resident who reportedly carried out a suicide attack in the Iraqi province of Anbar Friday, a security source told The Daily Star.
He was behind one of three car bombs that blew up near the Anbar Operations Command, on the western side of the city of Ramadi Friday, according to ISIS-affiliated Twitter accounts.
In a Twitter post Saturday, Assir described Abu Adam as “a likeable young man whom I met at Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque.”
“His protectiveness of Islam and Muslims did not calm until he was killed in Anbar,” he added.
On Friday, Abi Zeid’s family announced their son’s death but did not disclose how or where he was killed.
The statement circulated by the family said their son was “martyred on 15 May 2015 outside of Lebanon.”
Security forces had been on the lookout for “Abu Adam,” after he left Lebanon for Turkey roughly two months ago.
any supporters of Assir have gone into hiding in the aftermath of their 2013 battle with the Lebanese Army in Sidon.
