It further mentioned that the two bombings coincided with the detonation of two explosive devices by terrorists in al-Nahda and al-Qerayyat neighborhoods in the city.
Addounia television broadcast footage of firemen hosing down the blackened and charred hulks of two vehicles after the explosions.

For its part, the state TV reported that "at leat 34 people were killed in explosions which struck Jaramana," quoting a source at the Interior Ministry.
It said 10 bags containing the remains of unidentified victims had also been collected. Eighty-three people were seriously wounded, it said.

On Tuesday, the Syrian newspaper al-Watan published the names of 142 insurgents from 18 countries, who were killed while fighting against Syrian security forces.
"Most of the insurgents were killed in October and November in the cities of Aleppo, Homs, Idlib, Deir al-Zour and Hasakeh," the paper said.

The Syrian government has repeatedly said that foreign-backed "terrorists" are responsible for the unrest in the country, and that certain Arab and Western states are fueling the turmoil.
