Unknown assassins kill leader of Kurdish-backed council in Syria

A local council in the eastern Syrian city of Deir al-Zor announced that its co-head had been assassinated on Saturday.

According to the media center of the Kurdish-backed Deir al-Zor Civil Council, Marwan Fatih was killed by unknown assailants while on the road between the city and Hassakah, to the north.

The legislative body was formed in September with the aim of providing public services and managing the affairs of towns and villages liberated by US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The Deir al-Zor Civil Council has over 400 members, not a single member is a Kurd.
