Two women wounded in Qamishli explosion
2019-02-01
[Rudaw] Two women were maimed by an kaboom in Qamishli on Thursday.

The two women, Khadija Hussein and Nadia Mohammed, were maimed when a car hit an bomb in the northern Syrian city.

They have been taken to hospital.

Dr. Anter Ibrahim described their condition as stable and "good," explaining that their main injuries were from shrapnel that hit them in the jaws.

A relative of the victims said that they were walking down the road when the kaboom suddenly occurred.

The kaboom was caused by an improvised bomb (IED) thrown into the area by unknown button men near a position of the regime forces, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Qamishli is under the control of the local Kurdish-led administration and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The Syrian regime also maintains a presence in the city that is on the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
. The SDF and regime forces have largely kept an uneasy truce, though a rare clash broke out last September.
