World

Al-Akhbar-An Australian citizen fighting with Syrian rebels in their battle against Syrian  government has been killed in the northwest of the country, a watchdog said on Wednesday.

“Abu al-Walid al-Australi was killed December 30 in a rebel assault on the Wadi Deif base,” Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP by telephone.

‘Rebel” fighters launched an assault on the Wadi Deif base, one of the regime’s last strongholds in the northwest of Syria, on December 28 in a fresh bid to wrest control of the strategic post, according to activists.

The jihadist group the Al-Nusra Front led the offensive, said rebels on the ground.

Insurgents captured the nearby town of Maaret al-Numan, located on the important Damascus-Aleppo highway, in October.

Syria’s insurgents comprise army deserters, civilians who have taken up arms and foreign fighters, including several Islamist groups.
