Forced to Marry an Al Qaeda Terrorist: Syrian Girl commits Suicide | Global Research
A Syrian girl committed suicide on Wednesday in Raqqa city after
being forced to marry a member of the al-Qaeda affiliated group of the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Fatima Abdullah al-Abo, 22, was a student at the University of Raqqa
before being pressured by her family to marry a member of the ISIL
group. Al-Abo preferred death instead of the alleged marriage.
The incident came to draw attention to the phenomenon of the
increasing number of Syrian women who marry foreign jihadists fighting
against the Syrian regime.
Himod al-Musa, director of the media office in Raqqa city, told ARA
News that Fatima Abdullah al-Abo has committed suicide in Raqqa city
because of having been forced by her father to marry a Tunisian ISIL
jihadist.
“Fatima was 22 years old and was an English literature student in the University of Raqqa,” al-Musa said.
