Islamic State killed more than 60, dozens missing in Syrian town

BEIRUT – Islamic State killed more than 60 civilians and left 100 others missing in a town in Syria's central Homs province over three weeks before the Syrian army recaptured it on Saturday, the provincial governor said.

 

Syrian troops and allied forces regained control of al-Qaryatayn town "after eliminating terrorist Daesh (Islamic State) groups that had infiltrated it," state media said on Saturday.

 

A Britain-based war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Islamic State had killed at least 128 people in the town.
