20 Killed As Twin Blasts Hit In Syrian Capital Suburb - Damascus Bombings

20 people have been killed after two explosions hit the suburb of Sayyida Zeinab outside Damascus, a monitoring group has said.

First explosion was caused by a suicide attacker wearing an explosives belt at the entrance of Ziabiyeh district, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reports.

Second blast was triggered by a car bomb in the main al-Tin Street in al-Diyabia town, according to Syrian state TV.

The Isis has claimed responsibility for the bombings through its Amaq propaganda outlet. Amaq say "three martyrdom operations" took place on Saturday using suicide vests and car bombs.

Is not immediately possible to explain the discrepancy between Aamaq's account and those of Syrian state media and activists, who have reported only two explosions.
