A powerful car bomb exploded near a security complex in the Syrian capital Damascus on Saturday, killing 17 civilians in the third major attack in the tightly controlled country this year.
No group claimed responsibility for the bombing on the road to the city's main airport, but Syria's interior minister described it as a terrorist attack, indicating that investigators suspect Muslim militants were involved.
tate TV said the car was rigged with 200 kgs (440 pounds) of explosives, making it one of the biggest attacks in Damascus since bombings in the early 1980s by Islamist militants. Interior Minister said 17 people were killed and 14 wounded. Some witnesses said the number of wounded was much higher.
