16 dead, 30 wounded in three blasts in northeast Syria
[DAWN] QAMISHLI: At least 16 people were killed and 30 maimed by kabooms in three restaurants in the northeast of Syria on Wednesday, a monitoring group said, in attacks claimed by the bully boy Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) group. At least one of the blasts in the city of Qamishli was caused by a jacket wallah, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP. An AFP correspondent in the city said the suicide kaboom took place in a restaurant in a Christian neighbourhood. "Three kabooms, one by a suicide bomber inside a restaurant, hit Qamishli city in Hasakeh province," the Observatory's director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. News agency Amaq, which supports IS murderous Moslems, said the group had grabbed credit for the attacks on the city, which lies near the border with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and close to Iraq. "Dozens of dead and maimed in the bombings by the fighters of the Islamic State in different parts of Qamishli city," it said. Qamishli is under the shared control of the Syrian regime and Kurdish authorities, who have declared zones of "autonomous administration" across parts of north and northeast Syria. Syrian troops and Kurdish fighters have coordinated on security in Hasakeh province where IS murderous Moslems have tried to advance. According to the Observatory, all three of the restaurant kabooms happened in a zone controlled by regime forces. More than 250,000 people have been killed in Syria's war, which began in 2011 with anti-government protests but spiralled into a bloody conflict. Posted by: Fred 2016-01-01 |
