Four killed in Daesh suicide attack in northern Syria
[AA.TR] Four people were killed in a ISIS suicide kaboom targeting a meeting between two armed Syrian opposition groups south of Aleppo on Sunday, opposition spokesmen told Anadolu Agency.The attack took place in the opposition-held Sheikh Najjar village where representatives of Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... and Tahrir al-Sham, al-Qaeda's Syrian branch, had gathered for peace talks following a cease-fire last week, Omar Khattab, a front man for Ahrar al-Sham, said. Khattab said security guards had spotted a suspected motorcyclist approaching the meeting venue, and captured him, adding the jacket wallah managed to escape and blew up himself. Muhammad Abu Zayd, another front man for the group, said the attacker killed four people on the spot. He was later identified as a ISIS terrorist, he added. Posted by: Fred 2017-07-31 |
