13 killed in car bombs, shooting in northern Syria

BEIRUT (AP) — Thirteen people have been killed in separate incidents in Syria. In one, a Syrian was killed and four people injured after Kurdish security forces opened fire at pro-government demonstrators in the shared northeastern city of Hassakeh. The state news agency SANA said demonstrators were protesting a siege on their neighborhood. Separately, first responders and opposition media said two car bombs went off two hours apart in the northwestern town of Azaz and another village some 50 kilometers (30 miles) away, killing 12 people, including at least one child.
