47 killed in Damascus twin bomb attack
No fewer than 47 people, including civilians, were killed
Sunday in a twin attack in a mainly Shiite area in the Syrian capital Damascus.
The attack occurred in the district of al-Sayeda Zainab in
southern Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
It was learned that a car bomb went off near a security
checkpoint in the area, followed by an explosion caused by a suicide bomber
blowing himself up in the crowd.
Syria's state news agency SANA said at least 45 people - all
of them civilians - were killed in the attack.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
