At least 60 people were killed when a suicide attacker blew his small pick-up truck outside a security office in Sousian village near Al-Bab town in Syria, Friday. The explosion went off as the opposition fighters were organizing the return of civilians from al-Bab who had been displaced by the fighting for their town. The blast devastated two adjacent rebel command posts and also seriously wounded a large number of fighters.

Meanwhile, UN sponsored peace efforts on Syria resumed on second day in Geneva.

The UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura met with delegations of government and opposition to hammer out a procedure for the talks and to find a political solution to end the country’s devastating civil war.
