April 30, 2017

Kasaragod, Apr 30: Yet another youth from Kerala, who was among the 21 persons who had gone missing under mysterious circumstances, is reported to have been killed in the ongoing U.S. strikes in Afghanistan.

Bestin Vincent is said to have converted to Islam and identified himself as Yahya and fell in love with a girl of Century Dental College at Ponachi in the district.

Hailing from Manacaud in Thiruvananthpuram, he is believed to have been killed in the attack, a telegram app message sent by Ashafak Majeed to a relative at Padanna in the district said.

The message said that Yahya had become “Shaheed” (martyr) in the US attack. The message, however, did not specify as to when the youth was killed.

Yahya was killed while fighting in the battle with the U.S. forces, the message said.

It was Ashafak who had confirmed the death of Hafeesuddin in the U.S. attack on February 25 and Murshid in a similar attack the other day.
