At least 18 killed in Damascus blast

PanARMENIAN.Net - At least 18 people were killed late Tuesday, Aug 6, when a booby-trapped car exploded in a heavily populated pro-Assad area outside Damascus, according to Haaretz.

Fifty-six people were wounded in the bombing in Jaramana, a Christian-Druze area on the south-eastern outskirts of Syria's capital. The blast caused heavy damage and set dozens of cars ablaze, opposition-linked activists in the region said.

The same square was the target of a similar blast July 25, which killed 10 people and wounded 66.
