ANTAKYA, Turkey — Free Syrian Army Cmdr. Jamil Radoon’s assassination Aug. 26 hit hopes for lessened Islamist hegemony among opposition forces hard.
While this incident took place in the southern Turkish town of Antakya, it also raised questions about security across the border. The blast from explosives placed under his car hit only Radoon, who died in hospital shortly afterward. No group or individual has claimed responsibility as of yet.
