Iranian-backed leader survives assassination in Syria's Deir Ez-Zor
[NPASYRIA] On Friday, a leader in the Iranian-backed militias survived an liquidation attempt, after his car was attacked with machineguns in the Abu Kamal desert in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.

A military source from the Iranian-backed Liwa Hashemiyoun
...the Afghan Shiite militia stood up by Iran with Hazera volunteers in 2014 to fight ISIS and otherwise support the Bashir al Assad government...
said that Ali al-Sultan, who is in charge of logistics and armament in the militia, was attacked on the outskirts of the Abu Kamal desert by machineguns.

The leader left his car, hiding among the civilian houses, before the attackers targeted the car again with an RPG shell, which completely destroyed his car.

Al-Sultan, who is Iraqi, has a bad reputation in the region, and he is accused of imposing royalties on civilians, according to the source.

Iranian-backed militia announced on May 31 launching a combing campaign of the eastern and southern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, to pursue Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) sleeper cells.

The Iranian-backed militias and Syrian government forces control vast swathes of the Syrian Desert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which witness increasing activity by ISIS sleeper cells and bad boys.
