Car bomb near school in central Syria kills 16

Share:

Syrian state media and an opposition watchdog say a car bomb has exploded near a school in a central province, killing at least 16 people and wounding dozens.

Syrian TV says Thursday’s explosion in the al-Kaffat village in the central Hama province also caused extensive damage. The Hama police command says there were women and children among the victims.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which keeps track of the fighting in Syria through a network of activists on the ground, says 18 people were killed, most of them civilians.

Al-Kaffat’s residents are mostly from the country’s minority Ismaili sect, a branch of Shiite Islam.

Syria’s conflict has pitted the mostly Sunni opposition against President Bashar Assad’s Alawites, members of a Shiite offshoot sect.

      When you love death more than life, this is considered a good thing. They all get to go and meet their maker. They will soon be swimming in a river of Nutella and honey.

      “Al-Kaffat’s residents are mostly from the country’s minority Ismaili sect, a branch of Shiite Islam”, so they are considered Kuffar. Does this make the attack Halal?
