BEIRUT — Two car bombs killed at least 25 people and wounded 80 celebrating the new year festival of Nowruz in the mainly Kurdish city of Hassaka in northeastern Syria, state media said on Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights group, which tracks the four-year-old Syrian civil war, said 33 people, including children, were killed in the attack which it said was carried out by Islamic State, a hard-line jihadist group which has fought Kurds in Syria and Iraq.
Nowruz is an important festival in Kurdish culture in which people gather to play games, dance and eat. In Syria, Nowruz is also celebrated as an expression of identity for the stateless Kurdish minority.
Syrian state television said the bombs exploded in the al-Mufti district of Hassaka.

It was in the back of my mind for awhile when eventually ISIS starts to get defeated which seems to slowly be happening, this is what they will do. Suicide Bombings, these fanatics will go down fighting in this manner.
Another reason to stay out of hell-— too many ISIS cretins down there now and more to come later.
Wow...
The Religion of pieces sure has been busy today.
Close to 600 killed today alone, in Syria, Yemen, and Kurdistan, not counting the average daily beheadings and war fighting.
Doesn’t that sound like the behavior of a lineral when he implodes or loses?
Note to self: stay far away as is possible from moozlums.
