Asayish defuse VBIED in Syria’s Qamishli

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) defused a car in the town of Tel Hamis in the countryside of Qamishli, northeast Syria.

“Asayish” Media Office said in a statement on its Facebook account they received information that the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) detonated a car on a farm in the village of Qairawan in Tel Hamis.

The “Asayish” in cooperation with military forces raided the place where the car was detonated and deactivated a tank full of nearly 200 kg of explosives.

On Wednesday, “Asayish” aborted a plot by ISIS to attack Hawl Camp in east Hasakah.

ISIS lost its final stronghold in Syria in March 2019. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, defeated ISIS after fierce battles in the town of Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.

After Baghouz, thousands of ISIS fighters were transferred to prisons, while their families were transferred to Hawl and Roj camps in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)-held areas.
