A suicide bomber attacked Turkish-backed rebels just outside the Syrian town of Al-Bab Friday, killing 42 people in a major blow just hours after they hailed its capture from ISIS.
The bomber blew up a vehicle packed with explosives outside a rebel command centre in the village of Susian, five miles northeast of Al-Bab, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The blast devastated the twin command posts and also seriously wounded a large number of fighters, the Britain-based monitoring group said.

1st al-Bab was not "taken", ISIS agreed to leave in a deal with Erdogan (Turkey). Wonder what the terms were?
2nd note the caption under photo:
"It is believed the car bomb drove into the Free Syrian Army position before detonating"
and
"The bomber blew up a vehicle packed with explosives outside a rebel command centre in the village of Susian, five miles northeast of Al-Bab, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said."

Neither comment says it was driven into area. It seems more likely that ISIS left a rigged vehicle at their old command center and the jubilant FSA were trapped like mice as they celebrated taking over.
The people liberals demand to be imported here.
Yes. Correct.
Not surprised.
No one should be surprised.
And Erdogan? Headshake.
Is McLame OK?
He is safely back in the US. Was never anywhere near al-Bab.
He actually asked Erdogan to stop attacking Syrian Kurds. Which I thanked him for. (at last)
To defeat ISIS, you must first capture its head. His name is Obama and his field general is McCain.
I have no real argument with that.
