US condemns Syria political cartoonist attack - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "The US has demanded that the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stop brutalising peaceful opponents, citing in particular, what it called a "targeted, brutal attack" on Syria's most popular political cartoonist.
Ali Ferzat was attacked after he left his studio early on Thursday and was beaten by masked gunmen who broke his hands and dumped him on a road outside the Damascus airport.
Ferzat's brother Asaad told Al Jazeera that his brother was kidnapped at 5am by five gunmen from outside his home and taken to the airport road.
"He was savagely beaten, they broke his fingers and told him not to satirise Syria's leaders," Asaad said.
