The new wave of deadly attacks comes just a day after at least 50 people were killed and dozens injured in a string of suicide blasts targeting the city of Homs. A total of six suicide bombings rocked military facilities in the city, including the headquarters of the Syrian security service and the building housing Syrian military intelligence. The attacks were claimed by Al-Nusra Front militants. | |

The High Negotiations Committee (HNC), the main Syrian opposition group, subsequently issued a statement, saying that it “condemns all terrorist acts carried out by all terrorist groups,” and was ready to do the same in respect of the Homs attacks if they were perpetrated by a terrorist group or groups. |
