Years: 1132 - 1132
Zengi, atabeg of Aleppo and Mosul, had allied with Taj al-Mulk Buri of Damascus against the crusaders in 1130, but this had been only a ruse to extend his power; he had had Buri's son taken prisoner and seized Hama from him.
Zengi had also besieged Homs, the governor of which had been accompanying him at the time, but could not capture it, so he returned to Mosul, where Buri's son and the other prisoners from Damascus had been ransomed for fifty thousand dinars.
Zengi had agreed in 1131 yo return the fifty thousand dinars if Buri would deliver to him Dubays ibn Sadaqa, emir of al-Hilla in Iraq, who had fled to Damascus to escape al-Mustarshid.
When an ambassador from the caliph arrived to bring Dubais back, Zengi had attacked him and killed some of his retinue; the ambassador had returned to Baghdad without Dubais.
