At least 15 killed in north Syria car bomb attack: Civil defense
Syria’s Civil Defense Organization has reported the death of at least 15 people, including 14 women, in a car bomb attack targeting agricultural workers in the northern Syrian city of Manbij.
“A horrific massacre claimed the lives of 14 women and one man, in addition to injuring 15 [other] women, some seriously, which suggests that the death toll will rise,” the body said on Monday.
“All of them were agricultural workers, according to the initial toll of a car bomb explosion next to a car that was transporting agricultural workers, on a main road on the outskirts of Manbij, east of [the city of] Aleppo,” it added.
The attack marked the deadliest one to be carried out in the areas, which used to host a heavy presence of the United States-backed so-called Syrian Democratic Forces militant group, since the ouster of the Arab country’s democratically-elected government of Bashar al-Assad at the hands of Western- and Israeli-backed militants.
On January 26, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based so-called monitor, reported that militants affiliated with the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group that overran the entire country during the takeover, had carried out 35 summary executions over the previous 72 hours alone.
SOHR said those executed were mostly former officers in the toppled government, who had presented themselves at the centers set up by the country’s new ruling entity.
Earlier reports had said that the new authorities installed by the HTS had carried out multiple arrests in the central Syrian province of Homs.
