Car bomb rocks Kurdish-held Raqqa in northern Syria

[ALMASDARNEWS] A booby-trapped vehicle left by the defeated 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....
went kaboom! today in the Syrian city of Raqqa, killing and injuring several people.

A bulldozer was cleaning rubbles when it hit a VBIED buried under the wreckage of a bombed-out building. The blast killed 2 and 3 others in the Kurdish-controlled city.

Raqqa served as the de-facto capital of the so-called Islamic State for years before the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces capture the city in October 2017 after months-long battles.

Last month, the Russian envoy to the UN slammed the US and its Kurdish proxies for failing to rebuild the devastated city and help the afflicted civilians.
