Video in defense of Gammal:
“I didn’t come to this decision with anybody’s influence or anybody’s recruitment. I came here. It was my decision and mine alone. Nobody financed me to come here. Nobody bought my plane ticket. All that with my own money. Nobody showed me the wat to get here… [including] Ahmed Mohammed Gammal, in America. And I’m making this video just to let the authorities know this.”Victoria Bekiempis, “NYC college student died fighting for ISIS in Syria last year,” New York Daily News, October 19, 2016, http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-college-student-died-fighting-isis-syria-year-article-1.2835483.
