Syrian army kills 17 militants in country's south
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says
the explosion took place late Saturday in the village of Kfar Shams in southern
Daraa province.
Ahmad al-Masalmeh, a Daraa-based opposition activist, said
Sunday that a farm in the village was booby trapped and the explosives were
detonated once the militants had gathered there, reports AP.
Syria's state news agency reported that several fighters of
the Islamic Muthana Movement were killed and two of their "dens were
demolished at Kfar Shams."
The latest killings deal another blow to Syria's Islamic
rebels, just days after the assassination of a powerful rebel leader.
