A car bomb killed an undetermined number of Syrians and wounded at least 20 others late Sunday at near a military airport in Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.


Car Bombs Hits near Damascus Airport"There are at least 20 soldiers wounded, there are also some dead but we don't know how many," said the Observatory, that is known with its link to the Syria opposition.
The explosion, close to the Mazzeh military airport in the western suburbs of Damascus, was heard in several neighborhoods in the capital and flames were visible from a distance, the Britain-based group said.

The military airport is guarded by the army's elite Fourth Division, which is responsible for security in and around Damascus.

The last attack in the capital was on Tuesday, when twin suicide bombers targeted a police station in the city center killing at least 14 people and wounding more than 30 others.

A series of attacks have hit Damascus in recent months, most of them aimed at security check points, soldiers or government buildings.
