Gunmen shot and badly wounded a prominent Syrian activist and journalist living in southern Turkey, the latest attack on an anti-jihadist refugee from Syria inside the country, reports and fellow campaigners said on Monday, according to AFP.
Ahmad Abdel Qader, 33, was shot multiple times by two people on a motorcycle late Sunday while he was inside a car in the southern Turkish city of Sanliurfa, a major hub for Syrian refugees, Turkey's Dogan news agency reported.
Abdel Qader belonged to a media collective known as Eye on the Homeland in Sanliurfa and was strongly opposed to "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorists who are still present in Syria up to the Turkish border.
