At least 5 killed by suicide attack in Syria's Tal Abyad


At least five people died on Wednesday when a suicide bomber detonated himself at a local government office in Syrian town of Tel Abyad near the Turkish border.

According to witnesses, scores were wounded by the attack.

Thousands of Turkmens and Arabs who escaped from the PKK Syrian affiliate PYD, YPG in the northern Syrian town of Tal Abyad accused the organization of committing brutal offenses, including forcing people to migrate after confiscating their property and ethnic cleansing.Tal Abyad lies north of Raqqa and had been a key supply line for the Daesh terrorist organization's so-called capital.
