Local Editor

A Syrian journalist who was shot by Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri "ISIS" group] gunmen in the Turkish city of Gaziantep on Sunday is now in critical condition, fighting for his life, after being severely injured.

The Daesh-affiliated news agency, Amaq, reported Monday that "a security detachment that belongs to "ISIS" shot yesterday the journalist Zaher al-Shurqat, who anchors anti-"ISIS" TV programs."

According to the report, Daesh gunmen shot Shurqat in his head with a silenced pistol in front of his workplace in Gaziantep.

"Aleppo Today," the TV channel where Shurqat works, denied reports about the Syrian journalist’s death, emphasizing that he is still alive, hospitalized in a medical center in Gaziantep.
