(Zaman Al Wasl)- A group of gangsters killed seven people, including a child, after looting their livestock in eastern Raqqa province late on Wednesday, activists said.
The twenty assailants have stormed a small village located in regime-held areas near the city of Tabqa.
The victims were tribesmen who work in grazing livestock, according to local activist Muhab al-Hassan.
The deteriorating security conditions in the war-torn country have increased the rates of burglary and looting acts.
Eight years of war in Syria have killed 560,000 people and driven half the pre-war population of 22 million from their homes, including more than 6 million as refugees to neighbouring countries.
