BEIRUT — Syria’s state-run news agency has raised the death toll from what it says was a twin bombing that struck a crowd in a predominantly Kurdish town in the country’s north to 44 killed.
The report says a truck loaded with large quantities of explosives blew up on Wednesday on the western edge of the town of Qamishli, followed by an explosives-packed motorcycle a few minutes later in the same area.
It says the blasts caused massive damage in the area and that rescue teams are working to recover victims from under the rubble. – READ MORE
