Turkey says six killed in bomb attack near Syria border

[Jpost] A kaboom by the Kurdish YPG militia killed six people and maimed 11 on Tuesday in the northeastern Syrian town of Tel Abyad, near the Ottoman Turkish border, the Ottoman Turkish Defence Ministry said.

The Arab town, from which Ottoman Turkish-backed forces last October pushed out the YPG militia in a major campaign spearheaded by the Ottoman Turkish army, has seen a series of car blasts that have killed dozens of civilians.The attack was carried out with a boom-mobile and maimed civilians were treated in hospitals on both sides of the border, according to a statement by the governor's office in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
's southeastern province of Sanliurfa.

The governor's office said 17 people were maimed in the attack.

The YPG -- which Ankara considers a terrorist group because of its ties to PKK Kurdish murderous Moslems in southeast Turkey -- had for years been allied to the United States in the fight against 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....
