Blast kills 5, wounds dozens in rebel-held north Syria
|
[ARABNEWS] An explosion rocked a rebel-held area in northern Syria across the border from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
late Sunday, killing at least five people and wounding dozens, opposition activists and Ottoman Turkish state media reported.
The boom-mobile went off near the Bab al-Salameh border crossing with Turkey, the reports said. The area is controlled by Turkey-backed opposition fighters.
The blast killed seven and maimed more than 60, including women and kiddies, according to the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Right. The opposition war monitor said the blast was most likely carried out by sleeper cells of the ISIS group.
Other opposition activists said the blast killed five and maimed dozens.
Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reported that at least five non-combatants were killed and 85 maimed in the blast. The agency said that some of the maimed who were at death's door were taken for treatment in Turkey.
It said no one grabbed credit for the attack, adding that Kurdish fighters have carried out such attacks in the past.
Anadolu reported another blast earlier Sunday maimed 13 people, including children, in the Syrian town of Afrin, which is controlled by Turkey-backed opposition fighters.
Sunday’s attacks came as parliamentary elections took place in government-held parts of the war-torn country. As in previous elections in Syria, the vote will produce a rubber-stamp body loyal to Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
