Syrian TV: Car bomb in northern Syria kills one, wounds 50

BEIRUT -- Syria's state TV says a car bomb has exploded in a predominantly Kurdish town in northern Syria, killing at least one person and wounding 50 people.

 

The TV says the car blew up on the western edge of the town of Qamishli, near the Turkish border on Wednesday.

 

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the explosion targeted a center of the local Kurdish police and a nearby government building.

 

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group has carried out several bombings in Kurdish areas in Syria in the past.
