A double bomb attack Tuesday in the northern Syrian city of Raqa, a former bastion of the Islamic State group, killed 13 people, mostly civilians, a war monitor said.

A car bomb and explosive ordinance struck a crowded street, killing nine civilians and four US-backed fighters, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Killed 4 US-backed fighters, so probably Kurds, could be other Arabs or Christians too.  They paid a high price, Raqqa, the former ISIS capitol of Syria. Really, did the regime and Russia and their allies do that much against ISIS?
