Beirut - The Islamic State extremist
group has claimed responsibility for a
series of attacks across Syria that left
dead dozens of people, in an
announcement on its radio station.
In the message broadcast on Saturday
on Al-Bayan radio, IS said it was behind
explosions targeting Kurdish new year
festivities in northeast Syria and raids
on government positions in the central
province of Hama.
Forty-five people, including at least 12
children, were killed in twin bombings
in the northeastern city of Hasakeh on
Friday as they marked their new year's
eve, the Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said.
Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman
said people were too scared to
celebrate on Saturday, fearing more
attacks.....
