TRT Journalist Assassinated In Turkish-Occupied Al-Bab In Northern Syria

Support SouthFront

On December 12, Syrian journalist Hussein Khattab was assassinated in the Turkish-occupied city of al-Bab in the northern Aleppo countryside. 

Opposition sources said two unidentified gunmen riding a motorcycle shot and killed Khattab near the gate of al-Bab’s graveyard early in the morning. The gunmen managed to escape the crime scene without being noticed.

Khattab worked as a correspondent of the Turkish state-run TRT Arabic TV. He was also a co-chairman of of the Media Union in Aleppo and its Countryside.

In September, Khattab survived a previous assassination attempt. Back then he blaimed Ahmad al-Abdullah, a warlord from his hometown al-Safirah. Khattab filed a complaint to the Free Syrian Police, a law enforcement body backed by Turkey. However, no action was taken.

Khattab may have been killed by al-Abdullah as a result of their personal disagreement. However, the style of the assassination, which appeared to be well-throughout, indicates that ISIS may be responsible.

In the last few months, ISIS cells assassinated a number of militants and local figures in northern Aleppo. All of them were affiliated with Turkey.

The assassination of Khattab is an example of the state of lawlessness prevailing over Turkish-occupied areas in northern and northeastern Syria. Ankara has been doing very little to secure these areas.

ISIS leadership has been transferred to Jew maggots via mind control techniques, this is what happens when the World descides to give Freemason Jew swine the control over my intellectual property the Holy Ghost.

Dont offend the swines. Most likely they are more bright and smell better then You under same conditions. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f1cf4767ec3ac2a5034d755c741ce227b4cda65a5aece7e8afcf627f08f06fa4.jpg

I could have had dialogue and reasoning with ISIS when Brother Baghdadi was around, now there’s no chance, so the saviour of the Assad Government the man who broke the back of al-Nusra Front by draining their resources and enlistments, the guy who fooled Obama into giving him his start up the betrayed him and Saudi Arabia day’s after getting out of their immediate clutches is not likely to make the scene again and Isis is now what Obama planned it to be in the first place, so circumstances are not my doing so I couldn’t care less.

Jens Holm

Yes, that last chance in Syria/Iraq was too risky. They should have learned Al Kaida not only was anti Russia as well as not to rely in olddiapora.

We see it well for old Turks emmigrated here to Denmark long time ago. They are only experts in Turkish football results.

When Putin fired them missiles fro the Caspian Sea Obama knew he has stuffed up, even now in the US they hate the idea of a clueless President, that’s why the voted for Biden, he knows enough to keep his mouth shut. Olddiapora was eyewash same as football.

Jens Holm

Turks has no journalists. They only has propagandists handcuffed by Erdogan.

TRT/Erdogan propagandist. I have no sympathy for someone who gets killed by the same psychopathic murders they support.
