Massive car bomb explosion rocks Idlib, over 100 dead
[ALMASDARNEWS] A massive kaboom shook the rebel stronghold of Idlib late on Sunday, as a boom-mobile went kaboom! within the city.

According to our sources, the kaboom took place in the 30th district area of Idlib, a major city under control of Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham
(HTS, formerly the al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
Front). The blow came from a parked car that was apparently loaded with explosives and caused massive damage to the area.

The explosive car was parked right next to a training base for members of the Caucasus Emirate, an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist organization originating from Chechnya that has been providing imported muscle for HTS for years.

Over 100 people are reported to have died in the enormous blast, which is considered one of the biggest kabooms to ever have it the war-plagued city of Idlib, while at least 100 more people have been injured. While many casualties are turbans of HTS and its affiliates, reports have it that also many civilians have been hit by the blast.
