ISIS bomb attack kills at least 60 in Syria's Al-Bab

An attack by the Daesh terrorist group killed at least 60 people and injured 100 others in northern Syria's strategic Al-Bab area on Friday.


According to local sources speaking anonymously to an Anadolu Agency correspondent, Daesh detonated a bomb-laden vehicle at a Free Syrian Army (FSA) position in Susyan village.

Initial reports indicated at least 35 people died, with civilians and FSA members among the fatalities.

Civilians accounted for the majority of those killed, the sources added.

Of those injured, 41 civilians have been transferred to a hospital in the southeastern Turkish province of Kilis, which lies on the border with Syria.

On Thursday, the FSA, backed by the Turkish military, said it had taken control of "almost all" of the strategic town, according to Turkey’s defense minister.
