Syria Conflict: Three Killed, Dozens Injured in Terrorist Attack in Azaz

Local Editor

A car bomb has exploded in the northern Syrian city of Azaz, located 20 miles north-northwest of Aleppo, claiming the lives of three people, Sky News Arabia reported on Saturday.

No terrorist group in the country has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

Azaz was captured by the Wahhabi Daesh [Arabic acronym for “ISIS” / “ISIL”] in October 2013; however, militants of the so-called Free Syrian Army took the city in February 2014. Currently, Azaz is controlled by the “Free Syrian Army”, which also opposes the Syrian government in Damascus.

The situation in the region remains tense, as the Syrian government has liberated the southern regions of the country, while the north, in particularly Idlib province, continues to be a stronghold of insurgency against Damascus.
