A suspected Islamic State suicide bombing near a church in Syria's Aleppo on New Year's Eve killed one person and injured two others. The Syrian interior ministry stated the bomber, who detonated his explosive belt at a checkpoint, was likely linked to ISIS and attempting to infiltrate a Christian area. This incident is the latest in a series of attacks targeting religious minorities in Syria, with a recent mosque bombing in Homs claimed by a group analysts believe is an ISIS splinter.
