Twin explosions Saturday near religious
shrines frequented by Shiite pilgrims in the Syrian capital Damascus
killed at least 40 people, Syria's interior minister and media reported.
Interior Minister Mohammed al-Shaar visited the
injured in local hospitals. He said 40 were killed and 120 were injured.
He said the attacks targeted civilians, including Arab visitors, who
were frequenting the shrines in the area. He didn't elaborate, but Iraqi
Shiites often visit shrines in Syria. Iranians and other Shiites from
Asia are often also among the pilgrims to the area. See more pictures below....
