Another Edmonton man thought to have been recruited to ISIS

It is thought that another man from Edmonton has been recruited to join ISIS, CBC News has learned.

Omar Aden is in his mid-twenties. He was living in Edmonton before leaving in the summer of 2013 to study Islam in Egypt, members of the community told CBC News.

Several months later, he called his family from Syria.

A relative said Aden previously worked in Fort McMurray, where they believe he may have fallen in with extremists and was radicalized. 

Earlier this year, three cousins who had been living in Edmonton were killed while fighting for ISIS, according to their father. He said the trio left for Syria in October 2013.

Last month, CBC News reported that a young woman who is believed to have joined group was radicalized by someone in Edmonton.
