“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.”
