High-ranking Saudi jihadist commander assassinated in eastern Idlib
[ALMASDARNEWS] A high-ranking Saudi jihadist commander was assassinated this week while traveling with his bodyguard through a city in eastern Idlib.

According to opposition activists on social media, the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
 military commander, known by his nom de guerre "Abu ’Abdel-Mohsen al-Jazrawi", was assassinated alongside his bodyguard in the Idlib Governorate city of Saraqib.

Al-Jazrawi, a Saudi national, was considered one of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s top military commanders before his liquidation.

No group has grabbed credit for this latest liquidation.

In the past, opposition activists have accused both the Syrian government and the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
/ISIS/IS/ISIS) of carrying out liquidations in the Idlib Governorate.

These liquidations had become so prevalent earlier this year that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham launched a wide-scale campaign in the Idlib Governorate to eliminate Syrian government and ISIS sleeper cells.

If any spies were captured by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, they would be killed by the jihadist group and a video would later be released of the execution.
