According to a social media activists from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra,” the suicide operation was planned and executed by one their militants; however, they did not specify the individual, but they did take credit for the “martyrdom” operation.

South of the Al-Zahra Association Quarter, the Syrian Arab Army and the militants from Ansar Al-Shari’ah continue to clash near the imperative Scientific Research Facility on the outskirts of the New Aleppo Quarter.
