RNA - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the twin blasts, saying that whenever terrorists are unsuccessful in the military and political fronts, they resort to blind suicide acts of terror.

 

He further noted that the days of the blood sucker terrorists are numbered in Iraq and Syria through resistance of the two countries' armies and popular forces.

 

No doubt such inhumane and criminal acts will never give a strength to their lifeless skeleton, he said. 

 

At least 31 people have been killed and dozens more wounded after two suicide bomb attacks in Damascus, state media reported, the second double bombing in the Syrian capital in five days.

 

The first suicide bomber targeted the Palace of Justice, the main courthouse in central Damascus near the Old City.

 

The justice minister, Najem al-Ahmad, told reporters the initial death toll was 31, mostly civilians.

 

The second suicide blast struck a restaurant in the al-Rabweh area, to the West of the first attack, causing several casualties, state media reported.
