'Dozens' killed and wounded in twin blasts in Syria

Two large explosions shook Syria’s southern city of Daraa today, causing multiple casualties and heavy material damage, the country’s state-run news agency and activists said.

The Sana agency did not immediately give further information or say what the target of the explosions was, but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, said the blasts went off near a branch of the country’s military intelligence in Daraa.
