Qamishli car bomb kills one, wounds another: health official
2019-08-19
[Rudaw] A boom-mobileing outside a school in the northern Syria city of Qamishli on Sunday morning killed a member of the Kurdish Asayesh security forces and maimed another, health officials confirmed.

The incident comes as US and Ottoman Turkish officials continue to thrash out the details of a new ’safe zone’ along The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s shared border with Kurdish-controlled northern Syria.

The maimed Asayesh officers were taken to the city’s Rahma Hospital where one of them departed this vale of tears, health officials told Rudaw’s Vivyan Fatah.

The blast occurred outside al-Sina’a high school in the city’s al-Arbouiya district around 8:30 a.m. during the morning rush hour.

The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) has grabbed credit for the attack.

According to a post by the jihadist group’s Amaq News Agency on messaging app Telegram, the blast targeted a Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) office, killing six.

Rudaw has been unable to verify the claim.

Qamishli is located in Hasaka province, northern Syria and is under the control of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES). However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
some neighborhoods remain under the control of the Syrian regime.

Early last month, 12 people were maimed when a boom-mobile went kaboom! near a church in a Syrian regime-held neighbourhood of Qamishli.

A car bomb killed a police officer and wounded two other people Sunday in the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli in northeast Syria, police said, the second such attack in just over a month.

Kurdish police spokesman Ali al-Hassan said the car bomb was detonated by "remote control" near a school, "killing a member of our (police) forces."

An AFP correspondent at the scene said the car exploded as a Kurdish police patrol drove by, not far from a Syrian army position.
