Weirdly enough, his uncle is the former Prime Minister of Somalia, who has had numerous attempts on his life by Al-Shabab.

From pouring butter on popcorn at a Calgary movie theatre to the ranks of Interpol’s most wanted.

Farah Mohamed Shirdon, 22, who former co-workers the Chinook Mall movie theatre described to the Sun as a “joker” with a “bubbly personality” is now wanted by the global law enforcement agency on terrorism charges.

The man from a prominent Calgary Somali family gained infamy after he was shown burning his Canadian passport on an ISIS video, surrounded by armed Islamists and shouting threats against Canada and the West.

“We are coming and will destroy you ... this is a message for Canada and for all America,” he said to the camera.

“I left comfort for one reason alone, for Allah.”

Shirdon was born in Toronto, but came to Calgary where he attended John Ware junior high and Henry Wise Wood high school.

He had been attending SAIT as recently as 2012, but friends previously told the Sun he had severed ties with them.

Police said Shirdon left Calgary in 2014 to join Isis in Syria.
