Florida Man Identified as Syria Suicide Bomber

Source: NBC NEWS

U.S. officials on Friday revealed what they believe is the name of an American citizen from Florida who was involved in a suicide bombing last weekend in Syria.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they cannot be 100 percent certain that Moner Mohammad Abusalha was the man killed in a bombing in Syria because the U.S. has no access to fingerprints, DNA, or dental records.

However, officials say, investigators have spoken with his relatives in Florida and have shown them photos of the man who was said to be involved in the bombing, and the relatives believe it's him.

Other U.S. officials said they have confirmed reports from jihadi sources that Abusalha was a Palestinian American.
