Two bombs placed in tunnels running underneath the city of Aleppo exploded on Tuesday killing 13 fighters loyal to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. The explosion took place in the historic old part of the city according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which monitors the Syrian civil war. Aleppo is divided between pro- and anti- Assad fighters: each side holding certain neighborhoods. The capital Damascus is primarily controlled by government troops but is being threatened by Sunni Muslim Al-Qa’ida offshoot Islamic State which is creating an Islamic religious state between Syria and Iraq.
