Who Killed Maashouq?

"Will the killing of Kurdish Sheikh Maashouq Al-Khaznawi prove a watershed of violent developments between Arab and Kurds in Syria? Perhaps. Kurdish popular reactions over the next few days will provide the answer."

I think this is related to this but the names seem different, yet the stories are the same. I have to ask, are these reports of the same event, or are the Syrian currently engaged in their own Kurdish "solution" campaign?
