31 killed as spate of Syria suicide attacks continues
Print Edition
TWO suicide bomb attacks killed at least 31 people and wounded dozens more in Damascus yesterday, in the second such spate of bombings in the Syrian capital in five days.
The first suicide bomber targeted the Palace of Justice, the main courthouse in central Damascus near the Old City. Justice Minister Najem al-Ahmad told reporters the initial death toll was 31, mostly civilians.
The second suicide blast struck a restaurant in the al-Rabweh area of Damascus to the west of the first attack causing several casualties, state media reported.
The courthouse bomber set off his explosive device at 1:20pm as the police tried to search him and stop him from entering the building, state television cited the Damascus police chief saying. Syrian state television broadcast footage from inside the courthouse showing blood splattered on a floor littered with papers, a shoe and broken tiles and stones.
