Biography[]
David Drugeon was born in 1989 to a middle-class family in Paris, France, and had a normal childhood. When he was thirteen, his parents divorced, which was traumatic for him. He converted to Islam before he was fourteen and called himself "Daoud", and made many trips to Egypt using money saved from driving. He soon became a bomb-maker in Pakistan for al-Qaeda, and by 2014 he was a member of the Khorasan Group, an elite Al-Qaeda bomb force in Syria. He was wounded in the airstrike that was initially reported to have killed Muhsin al-Fadhli, but in July 2015 he was killed in a drone strike as confirmed on 11 September 2015.
