Sirojiddin Mukhtarov (1990 – 8 September 2022), commonly known by his nom de guerre Abu Salah al-Uzbeki, was the head of the Ansar al-Din Front in Syria and was the founder of Katibat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (KTWJ).

Life

al-Uzbeki headed KTWJ, which he formed in 2013, until he was deposed in 2019. As head of KTWJ, he reaffirmed his bay'ah to Al Qaeda in January 2019.

He and 50 other fighters defected from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and joined the Ansar al-Din Front.

The So Be Steadfast Operations Room was formed in June 2020 by Hurras al-Din, Ansar al-Din Front, Jihad Coordination and the Ansar Fighters Brigade, as well as Ansar al-Islam. His arrest on 16 June 2020 led to infighting between HTS and other militant groups. al-Uzbeki was released in March 2021, after serving nine months.

al-Uzbeki was reportedly killed in a Russian air raid on Idlib on 8 September 2022, though his death was denied by HTS.
