A massive bomb was detonated beneath a military checkpoint in the northwestern Idlib Province of Syria today, killing 30 soldiers outside of the strategically important town of Maarat al-Numaan.
While bomb attacks against checkpoints are nothing new, in this case the rebels apparently dug a tunnel underneath the area where the checkpoint was located, packing it full of explosives and remotely detonating it.
The rebels involved issued a video and images reportedly of the attack, showing an explosion in the distance as the rebel fighters celebrated. Syria’s government has yet to confirm the toll, though that is not unusual in such situations.
Maarat al-Numaan has been a heavily contested city because of its strategic location along a highway connecting the capital city of Damascus with the northern city of Aleppo.
It seems antiwar is very proud of its liberty fighters … am I right Jason ? In a time where the US mercenary killers are defeated everywhere in Syria, such an symbolic event has been urgently needed to strengthen motivation and to oppose reality.

Syria must bomb the border regions *within* Turkey from where those killers and their equipment are sent in. Idlib is just 20 kilometers from the Turkish border.
