Turkish jihadist commander executed by the Taliban in Waziristan
A Turkish jihadist commander who fought in the Caucasus for 15 years before arriving in the Afghan-Pakistan border areas was executed recently by the Taliban.Abu Zarr, who is also known as Serdal Erbasi, was executed in the Waziristan tribal region of Pakistan for ordering the deaths of two "foreign fighters," according to a Turkish jihadist website. Two of his followers, who carried out the deaths of the foreign fighters, were also executed along with Abu Zarr. The "Sharia court of the Waziristan-Uruzgan region" ordered Abu Zarr's execution after accusing him of ordering the murders of Samil Dagistanli and Ismail Azeri, two other jihadists from the Caucasus, presumably from the Russian republic of Dagestan, and Azerbaijan. Dagistanli and Azeri were in opposition to Abu Zarr after he split off from the Taifatul Mansura, or the Victorious Sect, due to a dispute over money received from outside of the region. According to the Taliban sharia court, Abu Zarr ordered two of his followers to kill Dagistanli and Azeri. The jihadist website, which is supportive of Abu Zarr, claimed that "plots were hatched full of sedition and disinformation about Abu Zarr who was in disagreement with some groups," and that he was executed by the Taliban because he was "uncontrollable."
