Unidentified button men attempted on Friday to assassinate an official of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, though his lover companion was injured.

A military source from the SDF in Deir ez-Zor told North Press that unknown button men on a cycle of violence targeted the vehicle of the official, who preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons, with machine guns near the main road in the village of Jazrat al-Buhamid.

The attackers aimed to eliminate the SDF official responsible for military relations in the area.

The source added that while the official managed to flee, his lover companion sustained a gunshot wound.

Eyewitnesses reported that the button men shouted slogans in support of 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....
