ISIS landmines cause more civilian casualties in northern Syria
[ARA] Fayiz is a 9-year-old boy from Raqqa countryside who was injured due to the kaboom of an ISIS landmine. He was walking alongside his uncle and grandfather in a village in Raqqa countryside when a landmine went kaboom!. Fayiz’s grandfather died during the kaboom, and he was heavilyy injured in his leg. The boy was transferred to Sere Kaniye town along with his uncle for treatment.

"They [ISIS] had covered the bomb with stones, so we didn’t expect that kaboom to occur," Fayiz said.

Ayed al-Faraj, Fayiz’s uncle, told ARA News: "I’ve lost my father in that kaboom. My nephew and I have survived the incident. We were maimed and now being treated."

Fayiz’s family is not the only Syrian family to suffer from ISIS bombs.

The ongoing conflict in Raqqa Governorate has led to a large number of civilian casualties. Many of them are injured in kabooms of landmines planted by ISIS holy warriors. The majority of the injured lose their lives before having access to treatment.

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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

 the local Roj Organization (RMCO), a Kurdish group specialised in dismantling landmines and bombs, says that the lack of advanced equipment has been preventing them from carrying out their work efficiently. The organization has been working on clearing areas liberated from ISIS in northern Syria, by dismantling explosives.
