One killed, 17 wounded in terrorist attacks in Syria: Sources
At least one person has been killed and 17 others have sustained injuries in terrorist attacks in crisis-hit Syria, sources say.
On Monday, the Takfiri ISIL terrorists launched several mortar attacks on the al-Zablatani neighborhood and the Sheraton Hotel in the Syrian capital, Damascus, killing one and injuring 14 others, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.
Three other people were wounded after an explosive device planted on a bicycle detonated near a patrol of Kurdish fighters from the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the northeastern Syrian city of Qamishli, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Another blast in Qamishli, which apparently targeted local Kurdish security forces, injured a yet unknown number of people, the group said.
Syria has been struggling with foreign-sponsored militancy since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri terrorist groups has reportedly left over 230,000 people dead so far.
The ISIL terror group grew out of a large number of al-Qaeda-linked Syrian and foreign-based militants that were backed and armed by US-led Western nations and their regional allies, particularly Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey.
