Blasts mar Syria truce, 20 killed

AFP, Damascus
TWin blasts targeting security buildings killed more than 20 people in the northwest Syrian city of Idlib yesterday, as an explosion was also reported in the capital, a monitoring group said.
The violence a day after the arrival of the chief of a United Nations monitoring mission was sure to put further strain on a UN-backed ceasefire that went into effect on April 12 but has failed to take hold fully.
Most of those killed in Idlib were members of the security forces, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"The blasts targeted two security headquarters, one housing air force intelligence, and the other military intelligence," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFR
State news agency SANA said "terrorists" were behind the attacks that were carried out by "suicide bombers."
Syrian television put the death
toll at nine, among them civilians, and said around 100 people were also wounded in the two blasts in residential areas of the city.
It broadcast footage of bloodstains on the ground in one neighbourhood, and groups of angry people denouncing the vio-
lence and expressing support for the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
"Is this the freedom they want?" shouted one man, standing near a woman who was carrying a child with blood running down his forehead.
One building appeared in ruins
and cars nearby were flattened by the force of the explosion.
Hours later a third blast rocked the university neighbourhood of Idlib, and the Britain-based Observatory said: "There are reports of wounded."
A powerful blast, probably a car bomb, was also reported in the suburb of Qudsiya near the capital Damascus, causing an unknown number of casualties, the Observatory added.
The explosion targeted a military vehicle, said Abdel Rahman.
"Initial reports indicate there are casualties," he added. "But we cannot yet confirm the number of victims."
An unknown number of civilians living in houses near the site of the explosion were wounded, he said.
Overnight, a rocket-propelled grenade hit the Central Bank in the capital, state media said, adding that an "armed terrorist group" also carried out a second RPG attack on a police patrol in front of a hospital in the Damascus area of Rokn Eddin. Four police were wounded.
