Syria: suicide bomb attack in Damscus leaves at least four dead

At least four people have been killed and more than a dozen injured after a suicide bomber blew himself up in central Damascus on Tuesday afternoon, according to Syrian state television.

The TV station described the bomber as “wearing an explosive belt” which he exploded in the Jebbeh district of the Jisr al-Abyad neighbourhood “causing deaths and injuries.”

Britain-based watchdog the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the target appeared to be a government building in the capital.
