Car bomb kills 10 in northern Syria: monitor
[Rudaw] At least 10 people were killed and 13 others were maimed when a truck rigged with an explosive blew up in Azaz, northern Syria, a war monitor reported on Wednesday. Syria has seen a surge of violence over the past 24 hours.

The truck went kaboom! at a military check-point in Azaz, north of Aleppo near the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
, the UK-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.

The blast killed 10 people, including four members of the Syrian National Army (SNA), a rebel group backed by Ankara.

The perpetrator of the attack is not immediately clear.

This is the latest violent mostly peaceful incident in a nation-wide escalation over the past 24 hours.

In the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, pro-regime National Defense Forces launched an overnight attack killing two civilians and injuring five others, according to a statement from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which controls much of northeastern Syria (Rojava) and areas along the Euphrates, including the area where the attack occurred.

The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), the SDF’s political wing, blamed Damascus and called for a cross-party condemnation.

"The Council calls on all political and national forces to condemn the criminal actions of the Damascus authority and its agencies," read the SDC statement, adding that the attack "undermines the efforts to combat terrorism" and aids 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), which is making a resurgence.
