A British jihadist Abu Suleiman al-Britani is claimed to have blew himself up outside Aleppo jail by ramming a truck packed with explosives into prison gates.
UK fighters confirmed death, texting: 'Lol yes... the first British brother!' If true, Britain will be eighth Briton killed fighting in Syria during civil war.
The attacking truck was accompanied by hundreds of rebels who then stormed the jail - freeing up to 300 inmates.
The number of foreign jihadists, specially from Britain and France in Syria is on the increase lately. Notorious 'hate-preacher' Anjem Choudary (left) claims the number of Britons fighting in Syria is 'in the thousands', while Francois Hollande (right) said about 700 Frenchmen are suspected of fighting in the country.

The silence by the British government is an indicative of the fact that the respective governments are backing the rebels and the jihadists - something that otherwise negate their claims of growing Islamic fundamentalism. They support jihadists when it suits their plans and condemn when it happens against them.
