FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A car bomb has exploded in a residential area of the Syrian city of Aleppo report Syrian state media, describing the blast as a “terrorist attack.” Activists say three people have died in the blast and 25 more have been wounded.
The figures come from the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which cites an opposition network in Syria. The observatory also speaks of a car bomb.
Various unofficial sources claim the blast hit an area close to a local security office, but according to the SANA news agency, the car packed with explosives was parked between two residential buildings in the al-Suleimaniya district of Aleppo, behind a post office.
“It was a strong explosion. It shook parts of the city,” Mohammed Saeed, an Aleppo resident, told the Associated Press. “White smoke was billowing from the area.”
Saeed says the attack targeted a quarter which is usually crowded with people on Sunday, being the first day of Syria’s workweek. He adds the neighborhood has a large Christian population.
The blast comes just a day after twin car bombs hit Syria’s capital Damascus, claiming 27 lives. Sunday’s attack is the fourth car bomb to rock a major city in Syria, and the second in Aleppo, since a popular uprising against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime began a year ago. The opposition and government have traded blame for previous blasts.
No one has claimed responsibility for any of the weekend’s attacks.
