A Saudi woman died after she was told her son had joined the Daesh group fighting against the government in Iraq, a newspaper reported on Monday.

The woman had reported her son missing for nearly 10 days before receiving a phone call from him this week, Ajel said.

“Her son told her that he is in Iraq with Daesh. She then told her other son at home that she feels a burning in her heart and liver,” the paper said, quoting Abdullah Al Muqhem, a relative of the woman in the capital Riyadh.

“She then asked her son to immediately take to Makkah for pilgrimage. On the way, she asked her son to stop in Taif city after she felt that her temperature was rising. A while later, she died in Taif.”
