... that Tariq Abdul Haqq, who won a silver medal for Trinidad and Tobago in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, died fighting for the Islamic State in 2015? Source: As the last man to bring a boxing silver medal back to his home country in 2010, Haqq should be revered in Trinidad and Tobago, but a descent into religious extremism has tarnished his ring career. Haqq headed to Syria to fight for Islamic State four years later - and would be killed in 2015.

5x expanded by Guettarda (talk). Self-nominated at 02:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tariq Abdul Haqq; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The hook statement that he "died fighting for the Islamic State" does not appear in any form in the article, it only says he travelled there and was killed there. Gatoclass (talk) 13:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
