Damascus: Unidentified armed men in Syria have killed prominent Kurdish rights activist Meshaal al-Tamo in the northeastern city of Qamishli, activists say.
Human rights activist say al-Tamo, 53, was killed on Friday after four gunmen wearing masked stormed his home in the city.
His son and another fellow activist in the Kurdish Future Party were also said to have been injured in the attack.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the killing.
