BEIRUT: Two Lebanese nationals aligned with ISIS were killed separately in Iraq and Syria Tuesday.

Ahdab was not the only Lebanese national who died in the service of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria. Reports circulated Tuesday claiming that Abed al-Rahman al-Sayyed, a native of the village of Fnaydeq in Akkar, was allegedly killed in the Syrian province of Raqqa while fighting under the ISIS banner.
