Car bomb blast kills 4 at Syria refugee camp 'Ruqban'


(MENAFN) A car bomb on Saturday killed at least four people and critically injured a number of others at the Ruqban refugee camp in Syria near the border with Jordan, according to sources on the ground.

In detail, the dead included two men, a woman and a child, sources told Sky News Arabia, adding that many people had been injured in the blast.

The camp is home to refugees and to rebel groups that fight both President Bashar al-Assad and the Islamic State. The camp was targeted by bombings last year.

More than 75,000 people live in Ruqban. Millions of Syrians have fled their homes during the civil war, which has killed hundreds of thousands since it began in 2011.
