- A 25-year-old Saudi doctor who joined the Islamic State in Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) and treated the militant organization’s senior leaders
has recently been killed in an airstrike, Al-Hayat daily reported.
Dr. Faisal Shaman Al-Eneizi, who studied medicine abroad for seven
years, joined ISIL and then moved to Iraq where he was killed.
Iraqi TV said the airstrike, carried out by Iraqi forces, killed the
doctor while an ISIL spokesman in Kirkuk claimed that Abu Shaman
Al-Jazrawi, Al-Eneizi’s nickname, died as a martyr.
The spokesman said the Saudi drove a car strapped with bombs into a
checkpoint, killing and injuring over 30 armed Kurdish fighters.
The Iraqi TV report said Al-Eneizi was able to treat many ISIL senior leaders who were injured in various battles.
Iraqi forces zeroes in on the Saudi doctor’s clinic in Mosul and bombarded it, killing him and others.
Al-Hayat called the doctor’s family and his father confirmed that his
son did not blow himself up but was killed in an airstrike.
Al-Eneizi’s elder brother said his sibling had traveled to Jordan to study medicine.
After finishing his studies, he joined a government hospital there to complete the internship year.
He was introduced to young men who called him to join ISIL and treat the injured and wounded in Syria.
The brother said: "This took place two years ago and my brother never told anyone about his plans.
"He was always saying he wished he died a martyr."
Al-Eneizi visited his family six months ago in Riyadh and told them he was on vacation.
He took different pictures of his mother and other family members then left.
He sold his car in Dammam and traveled to Bahrain and Turkey before ending up in Syria.
The brother said: "My brother did not carry any weapons.
"He was working for a national hospital in Syria.
"We tried to convince him to come back but he said he wanted to stay there and help the sick until he died."
