Deadly car bombing hits Damascus

Agencies Last updated: September 27, 2008, 13:08

Damascus: A car bombing on a crowded residential street in the Syrian capital killed 17 people on Saturday, Syrian television reported. The car bombing on Mahlak Street, near the junction to the Damascus International Airport, also injured 14 people, including children. Anti-terror units were investigating the incident, which Syrian Interior Minister Bassam Abdul Majid called a "terrorist act". The minister said all of the victims were civilians. He declined to say who was behind the blast. "We cannot accuse any party. There are ongoing investigations that will lead us to those who carried it out," Abdul Majid told state TV. The explosion occurred at the intersection leading to Saydah Zeinab, a shrine for Shiite Muslims that is frequently visited by pilgrims. An intelligence building is also located in the area. Police have sealed off the area, blocking motorists and pedestrians from approaching the blast site. Television showed smashed car windshields and shattered windows in nearby residential buildings and a large crater filled with water at the blast site. p/s: GEn-2 tu.....

bom yang meragut 17 nyawa di Damsyik, semalam.

Kereta sarat dengan bom 200 kilogram meletup

DAMSYIK: Sekurang-kurangnya 17 orang terbunuh dan 14 lagi cedera, apabila 200 kilogram bahan letupan yang disembunyikan di dalam sebuah kereta, meletup di sebatang jalan yang sibuk di ibu negara Syria semalam, lapor media tempatan.

Kejadian kira-kira jam 8 pagi itu berlaku di Mahlak Street yang terletak di sebuah kejiranan di selatan Damsyik, berhampiran simpang menuju ke lapangan terbang antarabangsa dan lapan kilometer dari makam Saidatina Zainab yang sering dikunjungi penganut Syiah.

Polis menutup kawasan itu dan menghalang pemandu kenderaan serta pejalan kaki daripada mendekati kawasan kejadian.

Letupan itu adalah kejadian terburuk yang pernah berlaku di Syria, sekali gus menjadi ujian kepada kawalan keselamatan di negara itu.

Serangan dan letupan bom jarang berlaku di Syria berikutan tindakan keras Presiden Bashar Assad ke atas mereka yang cuba mengingkari undang-undang atau mewujudkan keadaan tidak stabil di negara itu.

DAMASCUS (AFP) - A car bomb exploded near a Shiite shrine in Damascus on Saturday, killing 17 people and wounding 14 in one of the deadliest attacks to hit Syria in more than a decade, state media said.

The bombing drew condemnation from around the world, including from the United States which has criticised Syria in the past for not doing more to stop militants infiltrating neighbouring Iraq to carry out deadly attacks against US troops.

The car packed with 200 kilogrammes (440 pounds) of explosives blew up near a security checkpoint on a road to Damascus airport in what Interior Minister General Bassam Abdel Majid described as "a terrorist act."

Eight die in US attack inside

Syria: official media American helicopter-borne troops from Iraq launched an assault on Sunday on a building in a Syrian border village, killing eight civilians, official Syrian media reported.

The government has summoned the official US and Iraqi representatives in protest, state television and the official SANA news agency said.

"Four American helicopters violated Syrian airspace around 16:45 local time(1345 GMT) on Sunday. They penetrated eight kilometres (five miles)into Syria," official Syrian media said.

"American soldiers" whohad emerged from helicopters "attacked a civilian building underconstruction and fired at workmen inside, causing eight deaths,"reports said.

SANA named the dead and said they were a father and his four children, a couple and another man.

"The helicopters then left Syrian territory towards Iraqi territory," it said.

The news agency said one person was also wounded in the attack on the village of Al-Sukkiraya, around 550 kilometres (340 miles) northeast ofthe capital in the Abu Kamal area.

Earlier, the private television channel al-Dunia said nine civilians had been killed in the attack.

The raid appears to have been the first of its type into Syrian territory.

Syria summoned the US and Iraqi envoys to Damascus to protest against what it called a US military attack and to demand that Iraq prevent US forces from "launching aggression against Syria" from its territory, official media said.

"Syria condemns and denounces this act of aggression and US forces will bear the responsibility for any consequences," SANA quoted an unidentified official as saying.

"Syria also demands that the Iraqi government accept its responsibilities and launches an immediate inquiry following this dangerous violation and forbids theuse of Iraqi territory to launch attacks on Syria," it said.

"Weare in the process of investigating this" reported attack, Sergeant Brooke Murphy, a US military spokeswoman, told AFP in Baghdad.

InWashington, a Pentagon spokesman declined to comment. Commander Darryn James told AFP that there was "no response" from the US Department of Defence about the Syrian reports.

The Iraqi defence ministry also refused to comment, on the grounds the incident took place inside Syria.

US commanders say Syria is the main transit point for foreign jihadists crossing into Iraq. Washington has blamed Damascus for turning a blind eye to the problem.

On October 16 Iraqi forces arrested seven Syrian "terrorist" suspects at a checkpoint near the city of Baquba, a hub of Al-Qaeda fighters, the Baghdad defence ministry said.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani told US President George W. Bush last month that Iran and Syria -- long targets of US blame over the deadly unrest in Iraq -- no longer pose a problem.

Iraqi officials have also said that Syria has been boosting border security.

Syria'sfirst ambassador to Iraq in 26 years took up his post in Baghdad this month, marking the official end of more than two decades of icyrelations.

On September 28 US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice confirmed she had met her Syrian counterpart, Walid Muallem, to discuss Middle East peace efforts despite renewed criticism fromWashington over Syrian policies.

Their talks came after Bush slammed Syria in his farewell address to the UN General Assembly. "Afew nations -- regimes like Syria and Iran -- continue to sponsor terror," he charged.

Washington has also accused Damascus offailing to give adequate cooperation to the International Atomic Energy Agency in its investigation into a mystery facility bombed by Israel in September last year that US officials have charged was a nuclear plant.
