As tragic as this is - and it really is - I am not sure that any of the troops withdrawn would have prevented this - I don't think any of them were on protective detail.

Kurdish female politician, who worked to unite Christians, Arabs, Kurds, executed in Syria

From the article:

Hevrin Khalaf, a female politician who worked to unite Christians, Arabs and Kurds in Syria was among nine individuals executed by a Turkish-backed group in the northeast region of the country, according to a human rights monitor.

Khalaf, the 35-year-old Future Syria Party’s secretary-general, was "taken out of her car during a Turkish-backed attack and executed by Turkish-backed mercenary factions,” along with her driver, said the political arm of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, local media reported.

"This is a clear evidence that the Turkish state is continuing its criminal policy towards unarmed civilians,” it added.

On Twitter,Brett McGurk, the former special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, spoke of Khalaf’s efforts to foster tolerance in Syria and condemned her death as a "war crime.”
