By appearing in this video, this rapper may well have accelerated his timeline to martyrdom. I get it -- you want to appear in the video to show allegiance to ISIS and also to show how committed you are to putting yourself out there for the world to see. But you know, all the intel folks see you as well and have near-current identifiable information on you. The article suggests he has been working with ISIS for some time, and that his involvement is nothing too new to intel folks. I hope we send this terrorist to his maker. Ironically, after we eliminate him, he will probably become a more renowned rapper and sell more records than ever before, as so often happens...musicians pass away and then become this larger-than-life idea.
