FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Twin explosions have shaken the Syrian capital, killing 27 people and injuring some 140. Syrian media has dubbed the blasts “terrorist attacks.”
Both civilians and security forces are among the victims.
Reports say that car bombs struck the aviation intelligence department and the criminal security department at about 7:30 AM local time.
The state-run SANA news agency also reported that a third blast went off near a military bus at a Palestinian refugee camp in Yarmouk, a district of Damascus, killing two suicide bombers.
The explosions come two days after the one-year anniversary of the uprisings against President Assad’s regime that have killed over 8,000 people according to UN estimations.
The last major bombing occurred in the city of Aleppo on February 10, killing 26 people.
The Syrian government has blamed terrorist groups attempting to destabilize the country for the attacks.
The opposition counters that the Assad government purposely orchestrates them to discredit the rebel movement.
In the meantime, top US intelligence officials said the likely culprit was al-Qaeda in Iraq, AP reports.
Kofi Annan, the UN-Arab league envoy to Syria, urged the international community to unite in the push for a peaceful resolution to the conflict on Friday.
Annan will send a technical mission to Syria next week to discuss the introduction of foreign monitors in the country. The proposed monitoring mission is part of the five-point plan agreed upon by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Arab League representatives last week in Cairo.
Thus far, the international community’s efforts to curb the conflict have had little effect, with both the opposition and Damascus refusing to open dialogue.
