(IraqiNews) Two kabooms shook the Syrian city of Raqqa, yesterday, killing more than 10 persons.

a local source informed that the two kabooms took place near Dawar al-Naeem in the city center. An improvised bomb went off first followed by a booby-trapped vehicle kaboom, he added.

Security forces cordoned off the area and started a to investigate the incident, while transferred the bodies to the forensic medicine department.

The kabooms took place after the General Command of the Interior Forces in northern and eastern Syria announced a security plan for Eid al-Fitr, including a curfew on private and public transport from June 3 to 6 June 2019.
An Nahar adds:
The kaboom claimed the lives of five civilians and five soldiers of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-Arab alliance backed by Washington which wrested the city from IS in October 2017, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

The attack, for which no one has grabbed credit, was preceded by a bomb kaboom that left several people maimed in another part of the city frequently targeted by the 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 car kaboom was targeting an SDF position," SOHR director Rami Abdel Rahmane told AFP. The kaboom took place at the al-Naim square where IS had carried out beheadings when it was in control of the city.
