A bomb blast ripped through the main judicial building in Syria's capital city today, killing dozens, according to various media reports.
Syria's state-owned television reported that at least 25 people were killed and many others wounded when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest inside the "old building" of the Palace of Justice in central Damascus, not far from the famous and crowded Souq al-Hamidiyah market.
Soon after, state media reported a second suicide bomber detonated a device at a restaurant in the city's Rabweh district, killing several people.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for either attack.
