Syria: At least four dead in suicide car bomb in Homs city

A CAR bombing killed at least four people and left over 30 injured in the Syrian city of Homs yesterday as Isis terrorists came under renewed attack.

The official Sana news agency said the attack took place in the eastern al-Zahra district of the central city of Homs.

A security patrol opened fire on the suspicious vehicle before it reached a hospital and a heavily populated main square. The two terrorists in the car detonated their explosives outside an electricity station.

The attack came as forces continued to comb the al-Waer district to the west of the city, where the evacuation of thousands of gunmen and their families to Turkish-occupied Jarabulus finished on Sunday after years of fighting.

The government announced on Sunday that it now controls all of Homs city for the first time since 2011.

Another car bombing was also reported on Tuesday in the Syrian capital of Damascus. Sana said police fired at the car carrying two suicide attackers causing it to explode before it managed to reach a nearby airport.

One civilian in a passing car on the road was killed and another injured by the blast.

Meanwhile in the north of the country, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces guerillas advanced on the Isis stronghold of Raqqa.

They are now just two miles from the city’s eastern edge and eight miles from the west side.
