It went kaboom!at around 8:00 am (05:00 GMT) as the children were arriving for classes and as a security forces anti-terrorism unit passed by, the officials said. Colonel Ayada al-Nimrawi, deputy police chief in Hit, said the blast killed four children and maimed another two. Dr. Subhi Abad al-Alouani who attended the scene confirmed the toll.
