Car bombs kill 22 in Syria's Idlib: state media
(AFP) – 31 minutes ago
DAMASCUS — Two car bombs killed at least 22 civilians in the Syrian city of Idlib on Wednesday, the official SANA news agency reported.
"The first explosion took place in Al-Ziraa Square and the second explosion took place in Al-Mutlaq Square, killing 22 civilians and wounding 30," the news agency reported, blaming "terrorists" for the blasts.
Idlib city remains under the control of forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad but most of the rest of the northwestern province on the border with Turkey is in the hands of rebels fighting to oust him.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave a higher toll of 24 dead and said most were soldiers. It said there were three bombs in all and that many of the wounded were in critical condition.
