Aman Tandel who had joined ISIS ranks in Syria. (Al-Masdar News)
Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have killed Aman Tandel, one of the four Maharashtra men who left India in 2014 to join the Islamic State in Syria. Tandel, also known as Abu Umar Al-Hindi, was killed when the SDF attacked the Islamic State's positions west of the Tabaqa Dam near Al-Raqqah.
According to Al-Masdar News, the Islamic State's official media wing paid tribute to Tandel in a Telegram statement, confirming his death during clashes with the SDF on 26 December. “During his brief jihad in Syria, Tandel participated in several clashes with Syrian democratic forces west of Al-Raqqah city,” the statement read.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
