Car bomb injures 4 civilians in Syria’s Al-Bab
Local security forces claim YPG/PKK terrorist group could be behind attack
AL-BAB, Syria
At least four civilians were injured in a car bombing in al-Bab, northern Syria.
The explosion also caused material damage.
Volunteers of Syrian civil defense agency White Helmets rushed to the site as first responders.
Local security forces said they suspected YPG/PKK terrorists of carrying out the attack.
Al-Bab was cleared of terrorist YPG/PKK elements in 2016 as part of Turkey’s Operation Euphrates Shield.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. YPG is PKK's Syrian branch.
