Syrian forces fight Islamists
ISN SECURITY WATCH (Monday, 5 December. 09.17 CET) - Six people were
wounded in a clash between Syrian security forces and suspected
Islamist militants on Sunday in the northern city of Aleppo, according
to SANA, the state news agency.
SANA reports that two members of an armed group that was "preparing
terrorist acts in the city of Aleppo," suffered severe wounds in the
clash. Two security personnel and two civilians were also wounded.
According to residents, the two militants were wounded when they blew
up the car in which they were driving when surrounded by security
forces after a pursuit through the Al-Mouwasalat area of the city.
There have been a number of similar clashes in recent months as Syria
has sought to crack down on religious fighters held responsible by the
US for fueling the insurgency in neighboring Iraq.
