At least 13 dead in car bomb in Syrian border town

The bombing ripped through Tal Abyad, one of several once Kurdish-controlled towns seized by Turkey last month in a deadly cross-border offensive, reports AFP.Turkey’s defence ministry said 13 civilians were killed in the attack, which it blamed on Kurdish fighters.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, reported 14 people — pro-Ankara fighters and civilians — had been killed in the explosion.

The blast came despite a truce last week to halt the Turkish assault that began on October 9 and sparked the latest humanitarian disaster of Syria’s eight-year war.
