A car bomb killed 15 agricultural workers in northern Syria on Monday, the country\u2019s civil defense force said, as ongoing violence<\/a> threatens to undermine the new government\u2019s push for stability.<\/p>\n

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the explosion, which took place in the city of Manbij, about 20 miles from the border with Turkey. Manbij has been a focal point of violence<\/a> between armed groups, one backed by the United States and the other by Turkey. The blast on Monday was one of the deadliest such attacks since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Turkish-backed fighters wrested control of the city in December from Kurdish-led forces, who are supported by the United States, and there has since been a spate of car bombings, according to the White Helmets, the Syrian civil defense force.<\/p>\n

The agricultural workers were being transported in the back of a truck when a car bomb exploded alongside them on the outskirts of the city, which lies about 55 miles northeast of Aleppo, the White Helmets said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
