Car Bomb Kills Five in Syria Border Town
[An Nahar] A boom-mobile blast killed at least five people on Wednesday in the rebel-held Syrian town of Azaz by the Turkish border, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.The dead were four civilians and a police officer, the Britannia-based monitor said, adding that the toll could rise because a number of those maimed were at death's door. The blast littered the ground with debris and set an enormous fire that sent thick clouds of black smoke billowing into the air. Civil defence workers and residents tried to put out the blaze.
The blast hit near a mosque and the headquarters of the opposition's provisional government, formed in November 2013, which administers some areas under rebel control. Azaz has regularly been targeted in kabooms, including on January 7, when at least 48 people were killed in a tanker truck blast. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-04 |
