Powerful explosion hits major highway in Damascus
[ALMASDARNEWS] A powerful explosion was reported along one of the major roadways inside Damascus city this morning.

According to a source in Damascus city, a roadside kaboom exploded along the Mezzeh Highway, temporarily closing this roadway as a result of the earth-shattering kaboom.

The source said one woman and her child were maimed during the blast.

No group has grabbed credit for the roadside kabooming in Damascus.
An Nahar adds:
Activist groups said the victims were the wife and son of a pro-government political analyst. Opposition media activists and the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war-monitoring group, said the victims were analyst Taleb Ibrahim's wife and son. He was not in the car at the time of the blast.

A person who answered Ibrahim's telephone in Damascus confirmed that, without giving further details.
