Years: 742 - 742
The Berber rebellion has been quashed in Spain, but the Syrians show no signs of intending to leave.
When the Andalusian governor Abd al-Malik ibn Qatan ibn Fihri presses the point, Balj ibn Bishr decides to simply depose him and proclaim himself governor, invoking his credentials as designated successor to his uncle, the late Ifriqiyan governor Kulthum ibn Iyad al-Qasi.
In revenge for the merchant of Ceuta, Balj orders the elderly Ibn Qatan publicly tortured to death and has him crucified on the outskirts of the city flanked by a similarly killed pig and dog on either side.
