Damascus Cafe Bomb Blast Kills 10

Damascus Cafe Bomb Blast Kills 10

A bomb tore through a cafe near the Palace of Justice in Damascus, one of the busiest areas of the Syrian capital, killing 10 people and wounding many more.

Six of the dead were lawyers, according to the Syrian Bar Association, which condemned the attack.

So far no group has claimed responsibility, but many blame loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad.

Gulf nations and international bodies voiced solidarity with Syria, while investigators scoured the scene for clues.
