Another Saudi dies fighting in Syria

RIYADH – Another Saudi man was killed while fighting alongside the Syrian opposition.
The man, identified as Muhammad Falih Al-Subaee, 27, worked as a muezzin at a mosque in Riyadh before leaving his job and going to Syria last month. He is survived by three wives and four children.
Al-Subaee's family, who were not notified of his intentions to go to Syria, received news of his death last Tuesday.
A mystery caller notified Al-Subaee's parents that their son had been killed in Aleppo while fighting forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
“It had never occurred to any of us that he would go to Syria to fight. But we realized this fact when he called his wife and told that he joined a Saudi relief team in Syria. After this call, we never heard from him again,” said Al- Subaee's father.
Muhammad's eldest brother, Abdullah, said a man who identified himself as Abu Bakur Al-Harbi called the family and broke the news to them before quickly hanging up.
Abdullah said he called the man back several times to get more information about his brother but the caller never picked up his phone nor did he return the calls.
“We didn't believe him in the beginning but when we saw Muhammad's photos on different social networking sites, we knew for sure that he was dead,” said Abdullah while adding that his late brother never showed any signs that he was thinking about leaving the Kingdom to fight in Syria.
“One the contrary, Muhammad was polite and loved to do charity work,” Abdullah added.
Al-Subaee's uncle said his parents and wives were devastated at the news of his death. “He also worked at a funeral home and washed dead bodies for burial. His third wife is expecting a baby soon,” the uncle said.
Siraj Al-Zahrani, who fought in Afghanistan, warned young men against going to foreign countries to fight. “Young men should know that it is against Shariah to travel to Syria or any another country to fight without first taking permission from their guardians.”
