RCMP: Xris Katsiroubas

Aaron Yoon Dept: RCMP Supt. Marc Richer made the announcement at a news conference in Ottawa on Thursday afternoon, adding that the police force is "seeking the assistance of the public" to find out more about the events leading up to the men going overseas, according to CBC. A third man from London named Aaron Yoon, who is about 24, travelled with the pair to North Africa and is currently in jail in Mauritania, which neighbours Algeria. He appears to have had no role in the gas plant attack and RCMP have confirmed that the remains of two young men from London, Ont., named Ali Medlej and Xris Katsiroubas were found at the site of a deadly attack on an Algerian gas plant. News had previously revealed the identities of the two high school friends, who are believed to have travelled to the North African country to join al-Qaeda and international militants who staged a deadly attack on a gas plant there in January.
