Car Bomb in Damascus Kills at Least Seven

At least 62 injured

(Reuters)—A car bomb killed at least seven people and wounded 62 on Thursday when it exploded on the edge of the Syrian capital Damascus, state media said.

State news agency SANA said the bomb hit the al-Siyouf Square in Jaramanah. It blamed "terrorists", a term the Syrian government uses for rebels who are fighting a two-year-old civil war against President Bashar al-Assad.
