
A civilian was killed Tuesday when a bomb-laden vehicle exploded in the northern Syrian city

of Al-Bab, according to local security forces.


Security forces said they suspected YPG/PKK terrorists were behind the attack, which caused

material damage in the area.


Al-Bab was cleared of terrorist YPG/PKK elements in 2016 as part of Turkey’s Operation
Euphrates Shield, which was launched to eliminate terrorists along the Syrian border and
ended in March 2017.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist
organization by Turkey, the US and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000
people, including women, children and infants. YPG is PKK's Syrian branch.
