A 46-year-old man has become the third Malaysian killed in Syria after joining jihadists in an effort to establish an Islamic state in the war-torn country.

Syrian warplanes and tanks started an offensive on a militant base in east Hama, Syria on the morning of September 9. Reports said that Malaysian Mohd Lotfi Ariffin was gravely wounded during the attack.

Ariffin was transported to a hospital in Turkey’s Hatay province, but he died from his wounds four days later.

Ariffin, who was born in Kuala Ketil, leaves behind eight children aged between eight months and 17. According to Malaysian newspaper the Star, Ariffin was among 40 Malaysians who flew to Syria to join the fight against the Syrian military.

He left Malaysia in January and did not return home when his younger brother died of a heart attack in March.

Another Malaysian jihadist, 21-year-old Mohammad Fadhlan Shahidi Mohammad Khir, was also killed in the same attack.
