The first Saudi female “militant” joined hundreds of fellow “militants” infiltrating the deadly conflict in Syria aimed at overthrowing the government in the Arab country, according to FNA.
Webpages affiliated to the Saudi armed groups fighting in Syria have published news of addition of a new female member to Al-Qaeda’s Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIS) whose name they said was “Nedi Maeidh al-Ghahtani”, Al-Alam reported.
Many of foreign “militants” entered Syria with their families, especially those joining Al-Qaeda-linked groups, but none of the women were in there to fight.
However considering the fact that Saudis do not approve women having any kind of public activity, not even letting them drive, presence of this female armed woman has caused fury among Saudi groups, while some other have welcomed it.
Many of them have criticized Ghahtani’s presence as being ‘against the rules’, saying that a woman can’t get out of the country without a close male companion.
Al-Qaeda-linked groups have been attracting “militants” from across the world to join their war on Syria.
