Explosion in southern Syria leaves 21 dead
 At least 21 people, including four children, were killed when an explosion struck a vehicle packed with passengers traveling in southern Syria overnight, activists said.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Wednesday that the blast around midnight hit the vehicle as it was driving near Tel al-Juma in Daraa province. Six women were also among the dead, they added. It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion, but activists in the area accuse the military of planting a bomb in the ground along the road. The Observatory says there is an army outpost in the area that is besieged by rebels. Posted by: Steve White 2013-10-17 |
