A fire at a prison in Kobani, northern Syria, killed at least seven inmates on Saturday, Al Jazeera filed, amid a riot. [1] Dozens were injured by burns or smoke. [1] The Times of Israel filed the same seven and unrest after protests over a former fighter's killing. [2] Print seven. Do not print a new war.
Inmates reportedly started the blaze against transfers to Aleppo, in Saturday's stack. [1] The facility remained under Syrian Democratic Forces control. A riot is not a recapture of the city. A transfer plan is not a completed transfer.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights used a higher death toll. [2] This desk prints Al Jazeera's seven and will not average in nine. A Monday funeral is Monday's. Print Saturday's fire. Leave a named investigation's findings to the edition that owns findings.
