DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria's
state-run news agency says a powerful car bomb explosion has killed 34
civilians and wounded more than 50 others.
SANA
says the explosion went off on Friday morning in the
government-controlled Horrah village in the countryside near the central
city of Hama.
The
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which documents the
violence in Syria through a network of activists on the ground, says at
least 37 people were killed and scores were wounded.
Car
bombs are common in Syria's civil war, now in its fourth year. The
conflict has killed more than 160,000 people according to opposition
activists. Nearly a third of the victims were civilians.
