Two dead, five injured in Manbij car explosion
[Rudaw] Two people, including a child, were killed and five others were maimed in a car explosion in Manbij, in Syria’s north Aleppo province on Saturday.

"A woman and a child were killed" and five others were maimed, including two members of the National Defense forces, when a car went kaboom!, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

Manbij Military Council called it a "terrorist bombing."

Three women were among the maimed and taken to hospital for treatment, according to Hawar News Agency.

No group has immediately grabbed credit.

Manbij was liberated from 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....
(ISIS) nearly five years ago by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), after which the locally-established Manbij Military Council assumed responsibility for security. The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
threatened several times threatened to attack Manbij to force Kurdish forces out of the ethnically diverse city. In 2018, Ankara and Washington struck a deal that saw the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) leave and control handed over to local councils. Ankara claims that the Kurdish fighters are affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Manbij borders areas controlled by Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian militias.

Previous explosions and suicide kabooms in Manbij have either been claimed by Islamic State (ISIS) or blamed on the group. ISIS continues to "operate across rural areas of Iraq and Syria as a well-entrenched, low-level insurgency," the Pentagon stated in its latest report on anti-ISIS operations.
