Two kids o the age off ten and eleven are fighting in Syria, after their father took them to Syria from Saudi Arabia to join the jihadists. The former wife of the Saudi father was shocked when she heard the news. The father told his former wife: ”Count them as birds in heaven”.
The al-Hayat, a Saudi newspaper, told on Tuesday that the mother was being told that her sons were going on a vacation with their father in a neighbouring Gulf country. She did not know her two sons, Abdullah and Ahmed, were heading to join the terrorist gruops in Syria with their father. After the mother tried to contact her sons, the father told her the news. They have joined the group ISIS.
Mister Shayeq, the father of the two sons, is a former Saudi civil servant. Many Saudis have joined militant groups in Syria. However, the involvement of children in this case, has forced the Saudi government to take action. It has set up a hotline with the Turkish government to try to bring the two boys back.
