A former Germany youth international who quit football to become a Jihadist has been killed in Syria.
Burak Karan played alongside stars like Sami Khedira and Kevin-Prince Boateng for two of Germany's youth sides.
According to his brother Mustafa, he died on October 11 when the Syrian air force dropped a bomb on a village near the Turkish border.
An image of Karan clutching a Kalashnikov assault rifle has appeared in tributes to him on social networking sites.
Mustapha told the German newspaper Das Bild that his brother, who was 26, "didn't want to fight".
Image of Burak taken from YouTube video When civil war erupted in Syria in 2011, he said he began to raise funds to buy medical supplies for victims of the fighting.
"But when some of the supplies didn't turn up he decided to leave with his wife and two sons and organise distribution himself near the Turkish border."
Karan made five appearances for the German under-16 team and played twice for the under-17s.
Mustafa said: "Burak said money and career were not important things to him.
"Instead he searched the internet constantly for videos of war zones. He was desperate, full of compassion for the victims."
