Murdered Kurdish conscript Najm al-Din Hassan Daallo is the fifth victim of the Syrian army in 2010.

The body of Najm al-Din Hassan Daallo was returned to his family on 7 June 2010. He was born in Afrin in 1991, and had been stationed for his military service in the Syrian army in a military unit stationed around al-Raqqa.

He joined the service three months ago, and after he finished training he was deployed to the en-Essa battalion in al-Raqqa. Three days later, the army reported that Najm al-Din Hassan Daallo committed suicide during a night patrol.

The death of Najm al-Din Hassan Daallo brings the number of Kurds who have been killed during this year in mysterious circumstances to five.

This phenomenon is causing panic and distress amongst Kurdish families who fear for the fate of their children whilst they perform their obligatory service in the Syrian army.
