Islamic State group claim Irishman 'dies making suicide attack'

The so-called Islamic State (IS) has claimed, via Twitter, that the man was born in Dublin.

It is understood the man was Terence Kelly, who was in his late 40s and was born in the Liberties area of the city.

He was a former nurse and converted to Islam after working in Saudi Arabia.

He changed his name to Khalid Kelly and has been a vocal supporter of al-Qaeda.

Mr Kelly had previously appeared in a number of Irish TV documentaries on RTÉ and TV3.
