Dozens dead in Syria’s Homs twin bomb blasts

At least 100 others were wounded by the explosions in the city center’s Zahra district, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Footage from pro-Damascus television channels showed charred corpses buried among rubble, damage to shop fronts and debris littering a wide area. Many cars were on fire, sending out plumes of black smoke. 

Wounded people walked around dazed. State television quoted the governor of Homs as saying at least 25 people had been killed. 

A bomb attack claimed by Islamic State last month in Homs in the west of the country killed at least 24 people as government forces took back some Islamic Stateheld villages in Aleppo province in the north.
