A suicide bomber has detonated a car bomb in the southern city of Daraa, leaving two dead and several injured, Syrian state news reports. The explosion occurred in the Daraa al-Balad neighborhood of the city.
The attack follows the withdrawal of opposition forces from the embattled city of Homs after three weeks of shelling by government forces.
A string of suicide bombs have hit Syria in the last few months, the most recent being twin blasts in the city of Aleppo on 10 February that killed 28. The government claims the opposition are behind the attacks in a bid to destabilize President Assad’s regime, while the opposition accuse the government of orchestrating the attacks to discredit the rebels.

Cashing in on Nepal’s youthChild trafficking is rife in Nepal, with many unregistered orphanages in the capital, Kathmandu, housing thousands of trafficked children. The thriving market for illegal adoption has turned the practice into a highly lucrative business. |
Nothing new from those who were just kicked out Iraq. I guess the bomb was also for protection of peaceful protesters.
Whats the deal? I watch the news channels all the time, I hear about our ptoors dieing from IED's, sunnis civil war, but I never hear anything about Al Qaeda? I do some research on the internet and find that a torture camp was just freed, al qaeda camps were stopped. And much more, but not on the news? Why?
