SULAIMANI (ESTA) — An Iraqi man was killed in a refugee camp in northeast Syria, authorities said on Monday.
Asayish forces said a group of militants attacked a number of people at the Kurdish-run al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria.
One Iraqi refugee was killed and three people including two Iraqis and one Syrian were wounded, they added.
As many as 25 people have been killed in the camp in the past four months.
The al-Hol camp is home to as many as 70,000 people who have been displaced by the civil war in Syria and the fight against Islamic State (ISIS) militants. As many as half are Iraqis.
Around 10,000 foreigners are housed in secure annex, and many in the camp remain die-hard ISIS supporters.
Kurdish authorities have warned that the camp is turning into an extremist powder keg due to ISIS militants hiding out among camp residents.
The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have repeatedly called on the international community to repatriate their citizens held in northeast Syria.
In late March, the SDF launched a five-day sweep inside the camp. At least 125 suspects were detained.
