Double car bombs kill 46, wounds over 100 in Syria’s Homs

At least 46 people have been killed and over 100 others wounded in two car bombs in Syrian city of Homs.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) which monitors the conflict through a network of contacts on the ground said most of those killed appeared to be civilians, adding that the death toll could rise as a number of those wounded are critical.

Pro-Damascus channel al-Ikhbariya showed footage of damaged shop fronts, debris littering the streets, wounded people and charred or burning cars in the city center’s Zahra district.

No group has immediately claimed for today’s attack but the district has been heavy hit by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the past.

The attacks include double explosions which left 32 people killed and more than 90 others wounded in December last year.
