The city of Al-Bab, in the countryside of Aleppo, northern Syria, was exposed to a huge explosion, which injured dozens and there were many casualties as a result of a car bomb explosion near a bus and taxi station in the center of the city controlled by Turkish forces and the fundamentalist factions loyal to them.
We in the Syrian Democratic Council, as we hold the extremist fundamentalist factions responsible for these bombings, which have increased after repeated requests from the population to the factions to evacuate their headquarters and move them outside villages and cities, as these terrorist acts give the factions the opportunity to restore and strengthen their role and presence inside the occupied cities.
Also, while we condemn this cowardly terrorist act, we call on the international bodies to form specialized international investigation committees to investigate and conduct the necessary investigation and uncover the truth of who is behind these bombings and not give an opportunity for extremist fundamentalist factions to remain inside the cities and villages and to practice various forms of violations against the inhabitants of these areas, including kidnapping, killing, plunder of property, displacement of original people from Afrin, Ras al-Ain, and Tal Abyad, and ending the phenomenon of chaos of arms, which has become a chronic concern that haunts civilians and threatens their security there.
