General Info:
Charaffe al-Mouadan was born in 1989 in a suburb of Paris, France to a family of Sunni Muslim Moroccans.
He was a friend of Samy Amimour, a fellow French Muslim, and in March 2012 the two of them enrolled in a shooting club run by the Parisian police.
In October 2012 the two of them were arrested for planning to fight in Yemen or Afghanistan with al-Qaeda but later released, and in August 2013 al-Mouadan left for Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the Syrian Civil War.
He was a Syrian-based Islamic State member with a direct link to Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Paris attacks cell leader. During the November 2015 Paris attacks one of the attackers mentioned wanting to call him, but another attacker warned him to speak in Arabic and not French.
Charaffe al-Mouadan was later killed on 24 December 2015 in an airstrike while actively planning attacks against the West, and on 29 December 2015 his death was confirmed.
