Turkey says 13 civilians were killed in a car bomb explosion in the northern Syrian town of Tal Abyad. Turkey-backed opposition gunmen captured the town from Kurdish-led fighters last month.
A man tries to put out a fire after a car bomb exploded in Tal Abyad, Syria, Friday, Nov. 2, 2019. A car bomb exploded in a northern Syrian town along the border with Turkey Saturday killing over a dozen of people, Turkey's defense ministry said.
The ministry blamed Syrian Kurdish fighters for the attack, saying it harshly condemns it and called on the international community to take a stance against this “cruel terror organization.”Turkey last month invaded northeastern Syria to push out Syrian Kurdish fighters, who it considers terrorists for their links to a Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey.
Turkish-backed fighters have been advancing in northern Syria since last month, leading to the displacement of about 200,000 people. There have been concerns in Christian villages about possible atrocities by Turkey-backed fighters, which include former jihadists. Though the truce has mostly held, it has been marred by accusations of violations from both sides and occasional clashes. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to resume the offensive if deemed necessary.
