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.
Their headless bodies were dumped in the city in what has been described as a warning and an attempt to intimidate others.
