(Zaman Al Wasl) - Al Qaeda's Syria branch, the Nusra Front, said its fighter who had carried out the suicide bombing against Syrian regime forces in southern countryside of Aleppo on Tuesday is Turkish.
Nusra said on social media that Younis al-Turkey had blown himself up in an army checkpoint in al-Eis town in southern Aleppo, leaving dozens killed and wounded. Turkish activists have confirmed the identity of the Younsi who fought on many frontlines north of Syria.
Meanwhile, Regime forces backed by Iranian troops have edged closer to a major rebel-controlled highway south of Aleppo Tuesday, pushing further into rebel-held areas supported by heavy Russian airstrikes, Reuters said.
After seizing a series of villages including Zitan, Humaira and Qalaajiya, the army said it had thrust to the outskirts of Zirba and encircled the town of Khan Touman, an advance rebels said had left them outgunned from the air and ground.
The aim of Bashar al-Assad's forces appeared to be to cut the main Aleppo-Damascus highway that fighters use to transport supplies from rebel-held Idlib province to the north.
