FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On May 10, Syrian state TV said 55 people were killed and about 400 injured in two bomb attacks carried out by the “terrorists” on a main freeway in the southern neighborhood of Qazzaz in Damascus.
The Syrian Interior Ministry said several civilians and army members have been among the victims.
The official Syrian news agency SANA quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying, “These crimes show that Syria is targeted by a terrorist attack launched by organizations armed and funded by parties who proclaim their backing to terrorist crimes.”
Meanwhile, Syrian authorities intercepted a “stolen booby-trapped minibus” that had been planned to be used for a bomb attack in the Shaar neighborhood of the northwestern city of Aleppo on May 11, SANA said.
The bombings in Damascus were conducted a day after a similar attack targeted a Syrian military truck escorting a convoy of UN observers near the southwestern city of Dara’a on May 9. Six Syrian soldiers were wounded in the attack.
Head of the UN mission Major Gen Robert Mood was also in the convoy, but neither he nor any of the other monitors sustained injuries.
A number of UN observers are currently monitoring a ceasefire in Syria that took effect on April 12.
The ceasefire was part of a six-point peace plan proposed by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in March.
Ahmed Fawzi, spokesperson for Kofi Annan, said after the twin attacks in the capital on May 10 that the former UN chief “condemns in the strongest possible terms the attacks that took place earlier today in Damascus.”
“These abhorrent acts are unacceptable and the violence in Syria must stop,” Fawzi added.
