Blast kills dozens of Turkey-backed terrorists in Syria

More than two dozen Turkish-backed terrorists have been killed in a powerful bomb blast that ripped through their gathering in Syria’s northern province of Idlib on Thursday.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the blast took place near the Atmeh border crossing on Thursday morning.

Witnesses in the area said the bombing claimed at least 29 lives and wounded many more.

The Takfiri Daesh terrorist group later claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing in the northwestern Syrian village.

The so-called Free Syrian Army militants are Turkey's proteges in Syria, with a mission to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad. 

In August, Turkish ground forces and the militants stormed the strategic Syrian city of Jarablus after Daesh terrorists left without resistance. 

The offensive was launched in coordination with the US which is supporting a group of Kurdish militants in Syria. 

The incursion was the first major Turkish military intervention in Syria which has denounced it for violating the Arab country's territorial integrity.
