Twin bombings kill 10 civilians in central Syria – monitor
State television reports at least 6 people are killed and 28 seriously wounded in the suicide attack and car bombing in a square in Mukharram al-Fawqani in Homs province

BEIRUT, Lebanon – A double bomb attack on Thursday, May 5, in central Syria killed at least 10 civilians and wounded 40 others, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

State television reported that at least 6 people were killed and 28 seriously wounded in the suicide attack and car bombing in a square in Mukharram al-Fawqani in Homs province.

The area, controlled by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, is located between the cities of Homs and Palmyra, which was recaptured by the Syrian army from jihadists last month.

The blasts come just days after the Islamic State (ISIS) group seized the nearby Shaer gas field, one of the biggest in Homs, in an attack that killed at least 16 regime troops.

The Syrian regime controls most of Homs, the country’s largest province, except for certain areas held by rebels or IS.  – Rappler.com
