3 Saudi Jihadists killed in Liberating Battle of Mennegh Airport

  Saudi cyber activists circulated that 3 Saudi Jihadists were killed in liberating Mennegh Military Airport yesterday after an eight-month siege.

Saudi citizens are joining what some of them see as a holy war against Bashar al-Assad, analyst said.

The liberation battle started on Monday with 2 suicide bombers carried with him six tons of explosives in an armored vehicle and detonated it at the entrance of the air base, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Mouaz Abul RAhim, Saudi fighter with North-Storm brigade reportedly killed in the suicide bomb, Activists said.

Islamists in Saudi Arabia, who follow a puritanical version of Sunni Islam, denounce Assad and his regime as infidels because of their roots in the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, Reuters reported.

Some Saudis already appear to be fighting in Syria alongside anti-Assad rebels, but in seemingly much smaller numbers than during Iraq's civil war last decade, analysts say.
