Damascus blast kills 31, including 4 officers; Syrian military strikes on rebel stronghold force thousands into Lebanon
At least 31 Syrian troops – including four officers – were killed in a massive bomb attack on an army base near Damascus on Sunday, a monitoring group said.
"Three generals and a brigadier general were among 31 troops killed in a bomb attack that caused a building in the military ... base in Harasta to collapse," said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the U.K.-based watchdog group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
