Car bomb attack kills two after Syria ceasefire begins

A car bomb has exploded on the edge of a government-held central town, in Syria, killing two and wounding several others, just hours after a ceasefire brokered by Russia and the US began, the country's state news agency said.

No-one claimed responsibility for Saturday's blast at the eastern entrance of the town of Salamiyeh, but the Islamic State group has carried out several bombings in Syria in recent weeks.
