Member of Turkish-backed groups killed in Syria’s Aleppo countryside
ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday night, a member of the pro-Turkish Civil Police was killed when unidentified individuals targeted him in al-Bab city, in the eastern countryside of Syria’s Aleppo.
A local source told North Press that two unidentified individuals riding a motorcycle opened fire at Ahmed Shahoud in the al-Sina’a neighborhood in the vicinity of al-Bab, killing him instantly.
Shahoud is affiliated with the special tasks unit in the Civil Police in the city.
The regions under the control of pro-Turkish armed groups in northwest Syria have been witnessing assassinations and repeated bombings amid the armed groups’ inability to secure security.
On April 15, an officer in the Civil Police faction was killed in the outskirts of al-Bab.
On the same day, the body of a member of the military police was found in the city of Afrin near Susyan Junction north of al-Bab.
Al-Bab, 30 kilometers from the Turkish border, has been under the control of Turkish forces and pro-Turkish armed groups since 2017.
