It is shown that any torsion unit of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of a finite group $G$ is rationally conjugate to an element of $\pm G$ if $G=XA$ with $A$ a cyclic normal subgroup of $G$ and $X$ an abelian group (thus confirming a conjecture of Zassenhaus for this particular class of groups, which comprises the class of metacyclic groups).
