State media: 2 suicide car bombs explode in Damascus

Two suicide car bombs exploded in the center of the Syrian capital Damascus on Sunday near a government television and radio building, state media said. Syrian television showed footage of what appeared to be two burning vehicles, a fire engine and images from inside a nearby building where windows had been blown out.

State news agency SANA said "terrorists" had set off the two suicide car bombs close to Ummayad Square in central Damascus, causing damage to the General Authority for Television and Radio without causing casualties. (AP)
