ALEPPO,— Syrian Arab rebels have executed a
Kurdish woman militia leader in the ethnically mixed
northern city of Aleppo, highlighting growing
tensions between anti-regime fighters and the Kurds,
a monitoring group said Friday.
Democratic Union Party (PYD) (Yekîneya Parastina Gel
YPG) Aleppo Commander Nujîn Dêrîk aka (Şaha Aliabdo)
has been executed by armed gang groups bound to Free
Syrian Army FSA, Diha news agency reported.
"Shaha Ali Abdu (Şaha Aliabdo), also known as Nujeen
Dirik (Nujîn Dêrîk), was killed early on Friday. She
headed a Kurdish popular defense unit that is part
of the Democratic Union Party (PYD)," Syria's branch
of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK),www.ekurd.net
said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"She was killed a week after she was captured by
rebels," the Britain-based watchdog added.
Nujîn Dêrîk (Şaha Aliabdo), born in Dêrika Hemko in
1970.
The PYD opposes the regime of President Bashar
al-Assad but has taken a neutral position in ongoing
fighting in embattled Aleppo, the country's
commercial hub.
Clashes between the rebels and Kurdish militia in
Aleppo reportedly left 30 dead last week, sparking
fears of a new front in the already fractured
country.
According to the Observatory, 42-year-old Dirik was
captured when she went to hand over to the rebels
the bodies of opposition fighters killed in the
fighting.
Dirik headed a militia unit charged with protecting
the Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsud districts of
Aleppo, said Rujhad Khalil, an Aleppo journalist who
specialises in Kurdish affairs.
Kurdish fighters were "on a mission to deliver the
bodies of opposition fighters, as well as rebels
taken hostage, after clashes between Kurdish militia
and anti-regime insurgents" when she was captured,
Khalil said.
