Car bomb hits Syrian rebel base, killing at least 7
BEIRUT - A car bomb blew up at a rebel base north of the Syrian city of Aleppo on Tuesday, killing at least seven people, two activist groups said.
The attack targeted a compound of Islamist armed opposition fighters in the town of Marea, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) north of Aleppo. The town, long a stronghold for Syrian rebels, has been near the front lines since the Islamic State group advanced into the area several months ago.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll in the bombing at seven people, including two rebel leaders. It said dozens were also wounded.
The Aleppo Media Center activist group said at least 12 people were killed and more than 15 wounded.
