Dozens dead after Turkish border bombing attack
[ARA News] Aleppo – At least 23 people were killed and dozens more wounded in a car bomb attack near the Syrian-Turkish border, local sources reported on Thursday.

The blast hit a checkpoint manned by rebels of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) at the Bab al-Salama border crossing. “Most of the casualties were rebel fighters,” media activist Zakariya al-Halabi told ARA News.

The targeted checkpoint was held by the FSA-led al-Shamiya Front.

“23 dead bodies were found subsequent to the attack. Also, over 20 others were injured,” al-Halabi reported.

Salih al-Zein, official spokesman of the al-Shamiya Front, told ARA News that the attack was most likely conducted by ISIS.

“We have been combatting ISIS terrorists in northern Aleppo for months. The attack on Bab al-Salama was most likely carried out by ISIS,” al-Zein said.

However, the Islamic State (ISIS) group has not issued any statements regarding the attack so far.
