Dozens killed as rush hour bomb explosions strike Damascus
Twin suicide car-bomb attacks have killed at least 55 people and wounded 372 in Damascus, Syrian officials say.
The blasts happened near a military intelligence building during morning rush hour. State TV showed burnt cars and two deep craters in the road.
The government and the opposition blamed each other for the attack - the deadliest in Damascus since the start of Syria's uprising 14 months ago.
