Car bomb kills two in Azaz during Syria 'ceasefire'
2020-03-21
[Rudaw] Two non-combatants were killed and several maimed by a boom-mobile that went kaboom! in the northwestern Syrian city of Azaz at sunset Thursday.

Civil Defense ambulances forces responded in the aftermath of the earth-shattering kaboom, which targeted a security checkpoint.

It is the second attack to hit Azaz since late January, when another boom-mobile killed seven people when it went kaboom! in the middle of a bustling area located near several restaurants in Azaz.

Located in northern Aleppo province, Azaz has been relatively peaceful when compared to nearby Idlib, where three million civilians are threatened by an impending Syrian offensive to wrest the province from rebel forces. Azaz, which is home to many who have fled fighting in other parts of Syria, has seen sporadic suicide kabooms since The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

launched Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016 to seize territories from the Syrian Democratic Forces. Areas where Ottoman Turkish troops and intelligence forces are installed to support Syrian rebels and Ottoman Turkish-trained police forces are regularly hit by boom-mobiles and explosions.
