Terrorist blast kills 11 amid al-Qaida call to break truce
AT LEAST 11 civilians died in a huge terrorist blast in western Syria yesterday as al-Qaida urged Western-backed factions to break the ceasefire.
The attack on a crowded shopping street near a sports stadium in the Lattakia province town of Jableh, near the Russian air force base at Hmeimim, left cars charred and overturned and pools of blood on the road.
Qusay al-Khalil, the head of the local hospital, said: “The explosion rocked the town.”
