| Suicide bomb kills at least 25 in Damascus |
| 2012-01-06 |
| A suicide bomb attack tore through central Damascus last night, killing at least 25 people and injuring 46. Syrian television said the attack took place in the suburb of Midan. A Syrian official said the target seemed to be a bus carrying police. The casualties were mostly civilians, but also some security personnel. Syrian television showed footage of rescuers gathering body parts in the streets in an area where damaged cars and buses could be seen splattered with blood. It showed a damaged bus that had blood on the seats, and carried police helmets. A man shouted, "This is a criminal terrorist act." State television said, "The attack took place in a heavily populated working-class neighbourhood near a school. It killed and wounded dozens of people." The Local Co-ordination Committees, an opposition activist group that has organized anti-regime protests since March, said in a statement from Cyprus last night that another explosion was heard in the Damascus suburb of Tal. |
