IRNA – 11 people were killed and 63 others injured in a terrorist explosion that targeted a Syrian police bus on Friday, official statement released by Interior Minister Major General Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar said Friday evening.

The official statement underlined that some of the corpses remained in the scene have still not been recognized.
It noted that one of the human boday parts remaining in the scene is believed to be part of the suicide bombers’ corpse.
The Russian Foreign Ministry and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) have in separate statements condemned the Friaday terrorist operations in Syria.
Hundreds of Syrian protesters also gathered in the scene, called for the execution of terrorists behind the explosion.
Arab League observers were also present at the scene of the explosion to investigate the matter.
Syrian people, speaking to the IRNA reporter at the scene said they believed that the Zionist regime elements were behind all terrorist activities in the country.
Syrian people gathered at the scene of explosion and shouted slogans in support of Bashar a-Assad's government.
The Syrian television showed residents and paramedics carrying human remains, holding them up for the cameras. Other footages showed a bus with blood on its seats, and cars with blown out windows and riddled with shrapnel.
The IRNA reporter reported from the scene that the state-owned bus was totally destroyed, and a number of cars in the vicinity also were heavily damaged and splattered with blood.
The IRNA reporter says that the attack hit in the heart of Damascus, only about 10 yards from the local police station.

The blast went off at an intersection Midan on Friday, the start of the weekend in Syria and much of the Arab world.
Although the nearly 10-month-old US lead unrests in Syria, Damascus haves been relatively quieted but violence in the capital has been on the rise. On Dec. 23, according to the Syrian authorities, two car bombers blew themselves up outside the heavily guarded compounds of the country's intelligence agencies, killing at least 44 people and wounding 166.
State-run TV said the al Qaeda terrorist network was possibly to blame.
Hundreds of pro-Assad demonstrators descended on the area, carrying banners and signs expressing support for the leader and chanting his name.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Bashar al-Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but the US and Zionist regime plots could spark some new unrests in certain parts of the country.
