Dozens Killed in Syria’s Al-Bab Explosion
Local Editor
A car bomb blast by Daesh [the Arabic acronym for 'ISISI/ISIL' terrorist group] hit the Syrian city of al-Bab, leaving at least 60 people dead.
The Anadolu news agency reported that the blast killed at least 60 people in the northern Syrian city of al-Bab. Earlier it was reported, that Daesh terrorists perpetrated an attack in al-Bab suburb, killing at least 15 people.
A suicide bomber detonated his car near a security office, Anadolu reported. Most of the victims were civilians who had gathered at the scene.
Just a day before, Daesh terrorists started leaving the besieged northern Syrian town of al-Bab.
Turkish-backed Syrian opposition fighters said that al-Bab was fully under their control earlier in the day.
Turkish Defense Minister Fikri Isik later stated that most of the town was under Syrian opposition control after the fighters entered the town center.
Turkish-backed forces made advances into the town earlier this month. The town's remaining terrorist-held areas thus came under siege as the Syrian army had approached al-Bab from the south earlier on, cutting off militant retreat routes.
Daesh took over al-Bab in 2013 as it spread throughout Syria amid the country's ongoing war.
