Report: Bombs blow up at security site in Damascus

Bombs planted by rebels blew up on Tuesday at a school used by security forces and pro-government militias in the Syrian capital of Damascus, activists and rebels said.

"At exactly 9:35 am, seven improvised devices were set off in two explosions to target a school used for weekly planning meetings between shabbiha militias and security officers," said Abu Moaz, a leader of Ansar al-Islam, one of the rebel groups that have joined the 18-month-old revolt against President Bashar Assad.
