Car bomb kills at least four in Turkish-controlled north Syria
2020-12-11
[Jpost] At least four people were killed in a Ottoman Turkish-controlled region of northern Syria on Thursday when a boom-mobile detonated at a checkpoint in the border town of Ras Al Ain, according to a Ottoman Turkish official and a war monitor.
That’s the 30 km (19 mile) strip of territory along the Syrian side of the Turkish border that used to be chock full of Kurds... and now is considerably less chock full of them.
The governor's office in the Ottoman Turkish town of Sanliurfa identified the dead as two Ottoman Turkish police gendarmes and two members of local Syrian security forces. It blamed the blast on the Syrian Kurdish YPG, which Ankara views as a terrorist group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, put the total corpse count at 12, including seven Syrian fighters, two Ottoman Turkish security personel, two civilians and one unidentified victim.

, which is allied with some Syrian rebel groups opposed to Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs...
, seized control of the town last year in an offensive to push back YPG fighters from the border.
