Canadian Government Identifies Two Ordinary Twenty-Something Canadians Killed While Waging Jihad in Algeria

They're both from London, Ontario; one is a "revert":

Two Canadians suspected of participating in an al-Qaeda-linked attack at an Algerian gas plant have been identified as former high school friends from London, Ont.

Xristos Katsiroubas and Ali Medlej, who were in their early 20s, both attended London South Secondary, the CBC reported.

The pair had also travelled overseas with at least two former classmates, the report said.

Although they both had relatively normal Canadian beginnings, friends quoted in the story say that Mr. Katsiroubas became more distant in later years after converting to Islam...

I think I know how the rest of this goes (having heard it so often before): they both played hockey and loved Tim Horton's donuts, and everyone who knows them is just shocked--shocked!--by how things turned out.

Update: "I was completely shocked..."

Update: Canadians who have succumbed to the siren call of jihad.
