The 2015 Qamishli bombings were three bombings that each detonated in a different restaurant in Wusta, an Assyrian-majority district of the Syrian-Turkish border town of Qamishli, on 30 December 2015. The first reports stated that they were suicide bombings, however the spokesman of the Sootoro in Qamishli said that the attacks were not suicide bombs.[1] A Kurdish militia spokesman accused the Islamic State of the attack, however, Assyrian organisations accused the Kurdish YPG.[2] A total of 16 people were killed, 14 of the victims were Assyrian Christians and 2 Muslims, also 35 people were wounded.[3]
