Three Terrorist Attacks Target Sayyeda Zeinab Area in Rural Damascus, Kill 50
[ALMANAR.LB] Three blasts including one caused by a car bomb hit the Syrian capital of Damascus near the holy of Sayyed Zeinab (as) south of Syria's capital Damascus on Sunday, Al-Manar TV correspondent to the city reported.

The attack rocked the Al-Teen street leaving 50 martyrs and more than 200 others wounded.

Sayyeda Zeinab (as) area contains the grave of a granddaughter of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and is particularly revered as a pilgrimage site.
According to The Times of Israel:
Near Damascus, a series of kabooms, including a boom-mobileing, destroyed the area of the Sayeda Zeinab Shiite shrine and killed as many as 83 people, according to the official SANA news agency. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said it counted 62 dead from the attacks.

The jihadist Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
said it was behind the carnage. The group said two of its jacket wallahs carried out the Sayeda Zeinab bombings.
