Syrian TV: Damascus car bomb kills 17
By Reuters
A car bomb exploded in the Syrian capital Damascus on Saturday, killing 17 people and wounding 14, Syrian state television reported.
The car was rigged with some 200 kg of explosives, the television said.
It was the first explosion in Syria since the car bomb assassination of Imad Mughniyah, military commander of the Islamist group Hezbollah, in February.

I clicked on this wondering who was the target. This just doesn’t happen there....someone wanted someone very dead.
An intelligence building is also located in the area, but cars are not normally allowed to park nearby and it was not clear how close the bombing was to the building. Police sealed off the area, blocking motorists and pedestrians from approaching from where the blast occurred around 8:45 A.M.
The morning commute was underway....someone who works in that building was the target as they passed by maybe.
