Douglas McAuthur McCain (January 29, 1981 – August 23/24, 2014) was an American jihadist who was killed in Syria in late August 2014 while fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Originally from San Diego, California, McCain converted to Islam in 2004, and traveled to Syria by way of Turkey in early 2014.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
He was believed to be the first U.S. citizen to be killed while fighting for ISIL.[7] At the time of McCain's death, there were reportedly dozens more Americans fighting in Syria for Islamic militant groups.[8] Later it was established that the first U.S. citizen killed in the Syrian Civil War was Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha in May 2014.[8] McCain attended the same high school as Troy Kastigar, who also died as an Islamic Jihadist, in 2009 in Somalia. The two may have been roommates.[9]
