A suicide car bombing killed at least 43 people on Saturday in an attack near buses for Syrians evacuated from two besieged government-held towns.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack in Rashidin, west of Aleppo, targeted residents evacuated from the northern towns of Fuaa and Kafraya under a deal reached between the regime and rebels.
“The suicide bomber was driving a van supposedly carrying aid supplies and detonated near the buses,” the Observatory said. It warned that the death toll was likely to rise given the “several dozen wounded”.
State television said the bombing had been carried out by “terrorist groups”, a term the regime applies to all armed opposition groups. It was not immediately clear if rebels at the transit point were among the dead.
