KABUL (Pajhwok): More than 50 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in a high-casualty attack in central Syria, media reports say.
State media blamed the Islamic State for Friday’s attack in Homs province. Forty-seven of the dead were civilians and seven security personnel.
Government-run news agency SANA reported the bodies evacuated to the Palmyra hospital were riddled with bullets.
The victims came under attack while picking desert truffles in the government-controlled province, according to Reuters.
SANA quoted a survivor as accusing the Islamic State for setting alight their vehicles, though there was no immediate claim . . .
