Bastian Vasquez (9 April 1990[1] – 2015), also known by his nom de guerre as Abu Safiyyah,[2] was a Chilean-Norwegian jihadist who made prominent appearances in propaganda videos for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

[5] Vasquez joined the Norwegian Islamist group Profetens Ummah, reportedly recruited by Mohyeldeen Mohammad, after having converted to Islam in his teens.

[3] He was due to meet in court in 2013 for having uploaded a video on YouTube, for which he was charged with making threats against the Norwegian government and the King of Norway.

[2] On 29 June 2014 Vasquez appeared as the presenter in an ISIL propaganda video released by Al Hayat Media Center and titled The End of Sykes-Picot,[8] where he is seen showing a group of captives in a building, after which the building was blown up with Vasquez seen laughing and praising Allah.

[9][10] Following the publication of the videos, he was charged under Norway's anti-terror laws and wanted through Interpol, while his bank accounts were frozen.
