Kurds Blame Syrian Regime for Facilitating ISIS Attacks in Qamishli

As Kurdish Question said: "Syrian Kurdish officials have blamed the Syrian government for facilitating or supporting the Islamic State's (ISIS) deadly attack that killed at least 50 civilians in the unofficial Kurdish capital Qamishli.  Ciwan Ibrahim, the head of the Kurdish security police known as Asayish in Kurdish, blamed in a statement on Wednesday the Baath-regime and ISIS for the death and injury of dozens of civilians in Qamishli city, northeastern Syria."

"Speaking to ARA News, Dr. Nasir Haji Mansour, an official in the ranks of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said that at least 50 civilians were killed in an attack near the security police building in the Gharbi neighborhood of Qamishli.  “Most of them were civilians, since the Asayish members had meetings and were not in the building when the deadly attack occurred,” he said. “We know how to arrest the perpetrators, we have the technology to find out where the car came from.”

"Qamishli was recently announced to be the new capital of the federal administration that will be created in northern Syria and Rojava. Both the regime and the Syrian opposition have expressed their opposition towards federalism and the US-backed operation to take the city of Manbij from ISIS launched on 31 May." (Read more)
