Jordan's Jihadists Drawn to Syria Conflict
(BBC News) Murad Batal al-Shishani - Dozens of jihadists from Jordan have flocked into Syria to fight against Bashar al-Assad's regime. In less than a month, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, Baqaa, has witnessed two funerals for jihadists killed in Syria. Jihadists call the funerals of individuals who have been killed in battle a "martyr's wedding" in which they do not exchange condolences but congratulations on a person becoming a martyr.
