Russia backs rebuff to terrorists in Syria

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that “we are convinced that the terrorists operating in Syria need a decisive rebuff.”

“All domestic and outside players need to prevent any support” from reaching the armed gangs, it added.

The statement came one day after at least 11 people were killed and dozens of others were injured in a bomb explosion, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.

The blast occurred in the central neighborhood of al-Midan, near a mosque and school, after a terrorist detonated explosives he was carrying.

The violence comes despite a UN-brokered ceasefire, part of the peace plan proposed by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.

Since the beginning of unrest in Syria last year, scores of people, mostly security forces, have been killed in terrorist bomb attacks.
