Uyghur jihadist commander killed in northwest Syria
2018-12-05
[ALMASDARNEWS] A Uyghur jihadist commander was recently bumped off in front of his home in the northeastern countryside of Latakia, opposition activists reported via social media.

According to the reports, the Uyghur commander of the Ottoman Turkish-backed National Liberation Front was leaving his home in northeast Latakia, when unknown assailants opened fire and killed him on Monday.

The jihadist commander was identified as Abu ’Abdel-Qader Uyghori; he had previously served on several fronts in northwestern Syria prior to his death this week.

No group has grabbed credit for his liquidation.

Some opposition activists have accused Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
of killing the commander, while others accuse Syrian Arab Army (SAA) spies in the area.

#5  Confucius say, "Han who too eager
To pass as the peeps he beleaguer
Should wear correct sneaker,
Shriek loudly through speaker,
And greet esteemed friend with, 'My Uighur!'"

#3  It wasn’t long ago that National Liberation Front meant the group was one or another flavour of international communist. But the Turkic Uighurs’ NLF is merely another catspaw of neo-Ottoman Turkey.
