Damascus, February 1 (RHC)-- Two bomb explosions have rocked a suburban area of the Syrian capital, Damascus, leaving 60 people dead and 110 injured, the interior ministry says.

An explosive-laden vehicle went off on Sunday on a street in an area near the holy shrine of Hazrat Zeinab. Later, a bomber set off his explosive belt in the same neighborhood. According to later reports, Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has assumed responsibility for the twin blasts.

The foreign-sponsored militancy in Syria, which started in March 2011, has so far claimed the lives of over 260,000 people and displaced nearly half of the Arab country’s population within or out of its borders.

Syrian army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied popular defense groups, have recently liberated several areas from the grips of Daesh and other terrorist groups operating in the Arab country.
