In the village of Himo near the North Syrian city of Qamishlo a scooter laden with explosives detonated on Saturday night. Two people were injured in the attack.

Who is behind the attack is still unclear. Cell structures organized by the Turkish secret service MIT carry out attacks in the region as well as the agents of the Assad regime. Both aim to destabilize the region and prepare an invasion. The secret services often make use of existing networks of the IS and other jihadist groups.
