Two women, Saida (left) and (right) Hind, beheaded by jihadists
TWO female Kurdish politicians have been beheaded after being kidnapped by jihadists in Syria’s Heseke province in a blood-soaked weekend of violence in the semi-autonomous region.
The decapitated bodies of co-president of the Til ShayIir People’s Council Saeda al-Harmoush and co-chair of the economy committee Hind al-Khadir were found by the roadside close to the centre of Al-Dashisha on Saturday.
The pair had been abducted from their homes on Friday by at least eight heavily armed men, according to reports from neighbours.
