I think that had he ordered his son killed he would need a connection to Daesh (I absolutely interpreted the two men in beige salwar kameez as Daesh fighters) which we really see no evidence of whatsoever in the book. Additionally, as the final chapter of the book is from Karamat's perspective, he'd need to have a near split-personality to be keeping such a plot from his own thoughts and actions within the comfort of his own home.
I believe Eamonn was killed by Daesh and that Aneeka ran to Eamonn because she recognized that this was the end for all of them. She could run away and have her brother's body blown up, her 'love' (I don't know her true intentions) killed, and then be left to mourn evermore, or she could run to Eamonn, receive comfort in her grief, and have it all be over. I think the latter is her motivation.

In the original Antigone, the son kills himself. So did Eaamon arrange his own death? After all, only father and son knew the travel plans, or did I miss a clue?
