Al-Mukhtar who actually sought to kill Ibn Ziyad and others who had any role in the [[Tragedy of Karbala]], sent [[Ibrahim b. Malik al-Ashtar]] with an army to fight the army of Ibn Ziytad. Ibrahim who wanted to reach Ibn Ziyad before his coming to [[Iraq]], reached the army of [[Syria]] in the bank of Khazir river near a village called Barbitha 5 parasangs [around 28 km] from Mosul. In a fierce battle between the armies of Iraq and Syria, Ibn Ziyad was defeated (Muharram [[67]]/686); and Ibn Ziyad together with his soldiers were killed. According to a narration from [[Abu Mikhnaf]], apparently Ibrahim b. al-Ashtar himself killed Ibn Ziyad in a hand-to-hand fight. | ||
