Damascus car bomb kills man: witnesses
2008-02-13
A car bomb exploded in a residential area of the Syrian capital on Tuesday, killing one man and injuring two, witnesses said. "We saw security officers hauling the body away," one of the witnesses said.

Security officials at the scene refused to comment. Witnesses saw a mangled white car being towed away by police who cordoned off the area, which houses an Iranian school, a police station and a main Syrian intelligence office. No further details were immediately available but the witnesses and a Palestinian source in neighboring Lebanon said the blast was caused by a bomb planted inside the vehicle. It was not clear what the target was.
My guess would be the driver. What's yours?
Witnesses said some officials from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas were at the scene but there was no indication any of its members had been the target. Some Hamas officials, including leader Khaled Meshaal, are exiled in Damascus. At least one mid-level Hamas official has been killed in Damascus by a bomb attack in recent years.
