A Syrian activist group says a suicide car bomber has killed more than 50 Syrian soldiers and gunmen loyal to President Bashar al-Assad in central Hama province.

The head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abd al-Rahman, said Monday's attack in the village of Ziyara was carried out by the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaida-inspired Islamist militant group.
