Counter-terrorism cops probe another Briton's death in the Syrian civil war

Mohammad Azzam Javeed from Manchester went to Syria with friend Anil Khalil Raoufi

Killed: Mohamed Sebah and Akram Sebah were killed in Syria

Another Briton is thought to have been killed fighting in the Syrian civil war.

Mohammad Azzam Javeed, 19, went missing several weeks ago having headed for the conflict last year.

It is thought he travelled there at the same time as suspected fighter Anil Khalil Raoufi and had been due to start a chemical engineering degree.

Counter-terrorism police confirmed a search had been carried out at a property in Levenshulme, Manchester, in December.

Javeed was a friend of 20 year-old Raoufi, also from Manchester, who has family links in Afghanistan and was killed in a gun battle with Syrian government forces earlier this month.

The teenage fighter’s father declined to be interviewed but confirmed he had not heard from his son since he went to Syria last Autumn.

The UK government believes around 240 British men are fighting in Syria and is concerned that some may use their military skills and training when they return to the UK.

A spokesman for the North West Counter-Terrorism Unit said: “We don’t comment on individual cases but do say that anyone who goes there - Syria - will attract the attention of the UK authorities because there are a number of extremist groups operating.”
