One less terrorist the Brits need to worry about.

Via BBC:

A British teenager who “died in battle” in Syria has been described as a “martyr” by his father.

Sussex Police said they received information on Monday that 18-year-old Abdullah Deghayes, from Brighton, had been killed “in recent weeks”.

The foreign secretary has urged Britons not to fight in Syria and police say they face arrest on their return.

But Abubaker Deghayes said his son was in Syria with his two brothers to fight a “dictator” and was not a terrorist.

At his home in Brighton, Abubaker Deghayes said he had heard of his son Abdullah’s death though Facebook.

He said: “As far as I know, Abdullah went to Syria – without my consent or his mother’s consent – to fight in Syria against the dictator [President Bashar al-Assad].

“He was killed in a battle, as far as I know.”

He said one of Abdullah’s brothers, Amer, 20, suffered a bullet wound to the stomach in the battle, while another brother, Jafar, 16, was unhurt.
