Beirut, Dec 26, 2022 (AFP) — The Islamic State group claimed an attack Monday on a security complex in northern Syria, which a war monitor said was near a military intelligence prison housing hundreds of jihadists.

"Two IS fighters launched a surprise attack this morning... to avenge Muslim prisoners" and relatives of jihadists living in the Kurdish-administered Al-Hol camp, the group said in a statement on Telegram, adding that one of the perpetrators had survived after the attack.
