Car bomb kills 15 in Syria

A car bomb near a Palestinian refugee camp in a suburb of Damascus has killed at least 15 people, according to Syria’s state news agency.

SANA said the explosion in the suburb of al-Sbeineh late last night also wounded several people and caused heavy damage to buildings in the area.

It blamed the blast on an “armed terrorist group,” the term it uses to describe the rebel Free Syrian Army seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.
