Qamishli: A police officer was killed on Sunday in a car bomb attack claimed by the Islamic State group (IS) in the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli in northeast Syria, police said.
Kurdish police spokesman Ali al-Hassan said the car bomb was detonated by “remote control” near a school, “killing a member of our (police) forces”.
An AFP correspondent at the scene said the car exploded as a Kurdish police patrol drove by, not far from a Syrian army position.
Firefighters rushed to the scene to put out a blaze that spread from the vehicle to nearby trees, the correspondent said. (AFP)
