Turkish Army suffers heavy losses in northern Aleppo after ISIS suicide attack

The Turkish Army suffered heavy losses on Saturday afternoon, following a suicide bombing by the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham" near the key town of Al-Bab in eastern Aleppo.


According to the Islamic State's official media wing, one of their suicide bombers killed more than 20 Turkish soldiers and destroyed over 10 armored vehicles near Al-Bab today.

Using a VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device), the Islamic State suicide bomber reportedly scored a direct hit against the stationary Turkish Armed Forces inside the village of Baratah, which is located west of Al-Bab.
