Following yesterday’s murder of an 86
year old Roman Catholic priest in his church in Rouen in northern France, a
reminder that most victims of ISIS terrorists are Muslims.
More than 40 people have been
killed by a massive suicide truck bomb in the Kurdish-controlled city of
Qamishli in north-east Syria near the border with Turkey. ISIS said it was
behind the attack which happened near a security headquarters. The blast
appears to have caused a gas tank to explode, adding to the destruction.
Kurds have been perhaps the most
resolute opponents of ISIS, in spite of also finding themselves under attack
from Turkey’s increasingly autocratic president, Recep Erdogan. As a result
they have often been the victims of bombings by the Islamist terrorists.
Earlier this month, an ISIS suicide
bomber on a motorbike killed 16 people among a crowd which had gathered to celebrate the end of
Ramadan in the Kurdish-majority city of Hasakah in northeastern Syria.
