US-backed Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) reportedly killed the Islamic State executioner Talip Akkurt, known by his nom de guerre Abu Talha al Turki, who burned two Turkish soldiers alive in Syria in 2017. Al Turki was reported dead following a June 7 SDF attack in Deir Ezzor’s Hajin town.
Since Feb. 2018, al Turki was on the Turkish police’s Blue List of wanted fugitives with a bounty of 1.5 million Turkish lira ($320,000) on his head. The Turkish government’s failure to track al Turki, and the SDF’s putative success in eliminating him, could be an awkward development for Ankara. Turkey considers the SDF, dominated by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s Syrian affiliate Kurdish People’s Protections Units (YPG), as a terrorist entity – one that could now claim a bounty from the Turkish state.
Al Turki, and two other Turkish accomplices who still have a bounty on their heads – Hasan Aydin and Muhittin Buyukyangoz – were members of the “Yasar Group,” an Islamic State execution team composed of Turks. They were responsible, as shown in a video the Islamic State released on Dec. 22, 2016, for burning alive Turkish conscript Sefter Tas and Fethi Sahin, a Turkish gendarmerie intelligence operative who had reportedly infiltrated the Islamic State.

ISIS executioner killed = made the world a much better place.
Barak is crying in his beer.
GRRRRREAT news! Thanks for posting.
It is very sad that it was a Kurd conscript in the Turk army that was one of the men burned alive by this devil.
At least he will never do such crap again. And where his is is a lot hotter than those he burned.
“We know. a ...the Syrian Defense Forces ...acted stupidly”
1 down, 2 accomplices to go.
And may be some really big fish. Al Baghdadi is not yet accounted for.
Those who choose to live by the sword will die by the GBU...
I suspect it was by a bullet. They mentioned collecting a bounty. But you know Turkey will not pay that to any SDF.
I agree that it was most likely by bullet, but GBU sounds way cooler than 7.62...
