According to local sources, several people died in an explosion in Azaz today at 13.00 local time.

The cause of the explosion was a car bomb and it took place near the “Local Council” building recently set up by the Turkish state.

The explosion is assumed to be the result of internal conflict between gang groups Jabhat Shamiyya and Sultan Murat.

Sultan Murat is a group made up mostly of Turkmens, and it was founded by the Turkish intelligence agency MİT. Jabhat Shammiyya on the other hand is made up of Arab groups acting together with Turkey.
