(Zaman Al Wasl)- Unknown assailants killed late on Wednesday a senior commander in the First Coastal Division in Latakia province amid doubts that his killing is related to the death of an ISIS jihadist in Turkish prison.
Abo Oday Tabaq was on Wednesday night attacked by a group of masked men in a 4-wheel-drive-car who shot him and run away in Jisr Shughoor in the Western countryside of Idlib. Attempts to rescue him was unsuccessful and he died affected of injuries before arriving a field hospital.
A commander in the First Coastal Division spoke on condition of anonymity suspects that Tabaq’s assassination is related to those happened in Kurds and Turkmen mountains.
The commander mentioned that Tabaq was the first in the countryside of Latakia to fight regime and he had had significant and sensitive information about assassination against opposition’s leaders and figures, one of them was his uncle Abo Firas Eido who was killed two years ago by unknown people similar to the way of killing Tabaq.
The source has not excluded the possible connection between Tabaq’s assassination and what so claimed about Nadeem Baloosh's death as committing suicide. He suspected that figures who had information about breaches of some leaders of the opposition were targeted and killed.
The countryside of Lattakia has witnessed many assassinations against many commanders of revolutionary formations like Kamal Hammami (Abo Basir), Abo Firas Eido, Riyadh al-Ahmed and Khalid Haj-Bakri.
It is suspected that Abo Ayman al-Iraqi, commander in the Islamic State had killed Abo Basir, while the regime is responsible for the rest of assassination.
Nadeem Baloosh, the Syrian cotravertial figure was found dead, thought to have committed suicide in his prison in Turkey after a week of arresting his under charges of being a member of the Islamic State.
