JAKARTA. The son of Bali bombing terrorist Imam Samudra, Omar Abdul Azis, has been killed while fighting in Syria. His death was confirmed in a report published on Friday by Sidney Jones, Director at Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC). Omar was part of a new generation of Indonesian jihadists that seems to have come of age, with the sons of several prominent jihadists having left for war-torn Syria, lured by the promises of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) movement and the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra.
