Little-known groups target Turkish military presence in Syria
Two little-known groups in northwest Syria are claiming responsibility for attacks against Turkish troops in the area, which some say may benefit al-Qaeda against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
IDLIB, Syria — A group that goes by the name of Ansar Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Brigade has claimed responsibility for an attack against Turkish forces as they crossed the Bab al-Hawa/Idlib road near the village of Kafraya, east of Idlib city in northwest Syria.
The Turkish Defense Ministry said May 11 on its Twitter account that the attack on a Turkish army convoy killed one soldier and wounded four others.
