Graphic content: Six days after Donald Trump announced his troops were abandoning the 'endless war' in Syria, Hevrin Khalaf was forced off the road by heavy machine gun fire. Her autopsy report shows what happened next

Kurdish politician Hevrin Khalaf, secretary general of the Future Party, was killed in a brutal manner.Six days after Donald Trump announced his troops were abandoning the "endless war" in Syria, a Kurdish woman called Hevrin Khalaf was driving along the country's M4 highway when her armoured vehicle was forced off the road by heavy machine gun fire and she and her driver were pulled out."The woman was beaten with a solid body [object] on the head ...

Khalaf was not a combatant. She was a Kurdish politician, the head of the Future Party, and a women's rights activist. She once suggested that every internally displaced family be given a small tree to plant in front of their tent at the camp so that, "after they have left ... it will be a beautiful green memory in a land that has grieved them and made them homeless".The group being blamed for her killing is called Ahrar al-Sharqiya.

Also among the militants fighting for Turkey are the infamous Jaish al-Islam and the Sultan Murad Brigade, named after an Ottoman emperor.A convoy of Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army troops prepare to cross into Turkey.

Stung by the poor press that these exploits attract, a chat group on the encrypted app Telegram recently asked Turkish-backed factions "not to publish any video filmed during the battles because it distorts our reputation".
