Keith Broomfield. Yesterday, the US State Department said that the 36-year-old American was killed while fighting ISIS in Syria. Earlier this year, he took it upon himself to join the Kurds in Syria – aka the semi-autonomous ethnic group that's also in parts of Iraq and Turkey. They've been the most successful group in the fight against ISIS. Because of that, some Westerners have jetted off to Syria to join in. Reminder: the US is leading a coalition of countries launching airstrikes against ISIS, but hasn't committed any ground troops. Broomfield was a civilian who went on his own, and is thought to be the first US citizen to die while fighting with the Kurds.
