Speaking to the martyr’s father, the crown prince said: “We have learned from the incident, however with God’s will, they [have fought and died] for the sake of God.”

The crown prince continued saying: “May God bless you, and they [the fallen] have strengthened our will.”

“I want you to know two things; I will avenge your son’s death. I will avenge him from every extremist and terrorist in this country. Secondly, I want you to consider me as one of your children,” he added.
