The Sanhajian Army, commanded by Khalaf ibn Abi Haydara, took the city by storm.
[3] In 14 Feb or 14 Mar 1062, Buluggin took the road to Morocco, where the Almoravid leader Yusuf ibn Tashufin was shaking the Zanatian Empire.
Buluggin took advantage of the fact that the Zanatian emir al-Fatuh had moved away from his capital, Fez, to enter.
Yusuf ibn Tashfin, no doubt aware of the possibility of lightning incursions from the east and anxious to reserve his forces—still insufficient to subjugate the Masmuda—retreated to the Sahara.
[4] On his withdrawal, Buluggin was assassinated by an agent of his successor Nasir ibn Alnas.
