Saudis fighting the regime of Bashar Al Assad in Syria will be detained immediately upon their return to the Kingdom, a Saudi interior ministry official has said.
In comments published by Saudi media, Major General Mansour Turki, spokesman at the Saudi interior ministry, said participation in the fighting in Syria is in violation of Saudi laws, and that anyone who is proven to be intending to travel to Syria to join the fight against the regime there will be investigated and barred from travelling, adding that some who had been involved with Al Qaida in foreign countries may be heading to Syria or elsewhere to wage war.
The warning follows recent reports in the Saudi press about deaths of Saudi fighters in Syria. International news outlets have reported that hundreds of Saudi youths have entered Syria via Turkey and Jordan to fight.
Turki said that Saudi Arabia has information about the presence of “some Saudi citizens” in Syria, but did not know their numbers, as quoted by Saudi media. (from Gulf News)
Comment:
It is expected that non-Muslim countries would do this but those in Syria screaming "Where are the Muslims?" would hope the Muslim countries would look the other way and let fighters and helpers in.
What they want is for the West to broker a deal while they sit in their air-con tents enjoying duniya.
Allah protect those who have answered the call of ALlah swt and the call of those suffering the violence of the filthy Assad regime. Those who fear Allah will not take heed of this Saudi Ministry warning. A warning to please other than Allah. Aoothubillahi min Ash-shaytan ar-rajeem.
