Rapping jihadist came from Alabama Bible school
The Rambo-inspired Hammami — better known as Al-Amriki or “the American” — was reported killed in a shoot- out with the Al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab insurgents he had left America to fight alongside.
Born in 1984 to a southern Baptist mother with Irish roots and a Muslim father with a Syrian background, Hammami said he had an unremarkable upbringing in Daphne, Alabama, with the usual teenage crushes on girls and occasional deer hunting.
