Three Daesh bombings kill 16 people in northeastern Syria

At least 16 people have lost their lives and 35 others sustained injuries in a series of bomb blasts claimed by the Daesh Takfiri group in the northeastern Syrian city of Qamishli on the border with Turkey.

The triple explosions ripped through three restaurants in a Christian neighborhood in the center of the city on Wednesday, targeting people who had gathered to celebrate the New Year.

The Daesh terror group claimed responsibility for the bomb attacks in an online statement, saying that there were “dozens of dead and wounded in the bombings… in different parts of Qamishli city.”
