A roadside bomb killed 11 detainees being transported in a Syrian prison truck in Idlib province in the northwest on Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. “Eleven prisoners were killed in the explosion which targeted a prison truck on the road between Idlib town and the village of Mastumeh,” the Britain-based group’s chairman, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP by telephone. A number of security personnel accompanying the prisoners were wounded, Abdel Rahman said, without being able to provide details. Separately, the Observatory reported that a member of the security forces was killed in fighting between dissidents and soldiers at Kfarnebel, in the Zawiya mountains of Idlib province, with troops using heavy machineguns.
