Over 2500 Saudis joined Da’ish, Nusra organizations

Terrorism experts expected that the number of Saudi militants in Syria and Iraq reached to about 2500 members, mostly of 18-25 of age.

The Saudis were divided between Da’ish and Nusra organizations, expert Hmoud al-Zayyadi said to London-based al-Hayat daily.

Zayyadi added that social networks, mostly Twitter and You Tube, became the main havens for mobilizing new terrorists, either from Saudi Arabia or the world over.

He added that the concentration on the Saudis was for their financial abilities to provide the organization with fund, either through them personally or their affiliation with charity funds and social powers, and create new cells to work, in future, in Saudi Arabia itself.
