Two Syrian journalists murdered in Turkey’s southeast
2015-10-31
[Hurriyet] Two Syrian journalists have been murdered in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's southeastern province of Sanliurfa in what is presumed to be an attack by snuffies of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Ibrahim Abdulkadir, managing editor at Syrian Ayn Vatan newspaper and Firaz Hamadi, a news hound for the same newspaper, had fled the conflict in Syria for Sanliurfa, where they shared a flat.

Their dead bodies were found by seven of their Syrian friends, who called the police and made an emergency appeal.

Reports indicate that one or more assailants, who remain unidentified, slit the throats of the news hounds using a hunting knife.

It is claimed that both journalists were members of the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
and had been receiving death threats from ISIL for publishing reports against the jihadist organization.

The journalists' bodies were transferred to the Forensic Medicine Institute for his appointment with Doctor Quincy.

Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe.
The window was looking better all the time....

police detained the seven Syrians who found the murdered journalists' bodies and called for help, in order to take their testimonies.

The investigation into the double homicides continues.
Al Ahram adds:
The beheaded bodies of a Syrian activist opposed to the Islamic State group and a friend were found early Friday in the southern Turkish city of Sanliurfa, his colleagues said.

Ibrahim Abdul Qader, 20, and friend Fares Hamadi "were found beheaded at the friend's house this morning," Abu Mohammad, a founder of the activist's "Raqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently" group, told AFP via the Internet.

The group, which documents abuses in areas under IS control in Syria, accused the jihadist organisation of the murders on its Facebook page.

According to Abu Mohammad, both men were from Raqa city, the de facto capital of IS in Syria. Hamadi was also in his early twenties.

Abdul Qader had escaped to Turkey a little over a year ago.

Members of the activist group had been killed inside Syria in the past, but this is the first time a member has been killed outside the country, Abu Mohammad added.

Sanliurfa is 55 kilometres (35 miles) from Turkey's border with Syria's Raqa province, a major IS stronghold in the country.

RBSS regularly publishes information, photos and videos about IS dictates and behaviour in Raqa, from a jihadist ban on private Internet connections to its decision to begin issuing identity cards.

Activists documenting IS abuses have regularly been targeted by the group, which deems them "infidels" punishable by death.

#1  And who will miss them? Journalists AND Moslem journalists at that.

Its usually hard to feel sorry for a Journalist and as for a Moslem who has his throat sliced by ANOTHER Moslem ( with a hunting knife )? Well, that's just another deeply sacramental and cherished old time honored Moslem Custom
and we should "respect" the common ordinary every day customs of other cultures, now shouldn't we?

Beside, its their deeply held religious beliefs and they like to do one another. That is what Allahu Akbar is all about.

Plus the occasional gunsex which is another" colorful" fun custom.
