car bombings

Police were able to intercept two suicide car bombers just outside Damascus's city center, while a third car was able to make it through before blowing up.

Syria's public media agency says 140 people were injured — and that the death toll will likely rise.

At least 115 people, mostly Shiites, are dead in the truck bomb attack — the worst in a decade. The self-declared Islamic State has reportedly claimed responsibility.

A group calling itself Islamic State in Egypt said it carried out the car-bomb attack that killed one person and caused serious damage to the diplomatic compound.
