Syria: Rebels launch 2 bomb attacks on military headquarters in Damascus
A pair of powerful blasts targeting Syria’s military command headquarters rocked central Damascus early Wednesday.
It was the second consecutive day that bombs, apparently planted by rebels, hit the capital, highlighting insurgents’ ability to strike at the heart of the government of President Bashar Assad.
The attacks come as the United Nations General Assembly has been debating the crisis in Syria, though a deeply divided U.N. has failed in efforts to broker a cease-fire.
The official state news service said two ““terrorist explosions” took place near the headquarters, where the army and air force commands are situated, in central Umayyed Square.
