Ten people were killed and 15 others wounded on Sunday when a bomb exploded outside a police station in the Christian neighborhood of Bab Touma in the Syrian capital Damascus, a rights group said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave a toll of 10 dead and 15 wounded as a car bomb blew up outside the station in Bab Touma, where many in the minority community fear Islamists in the anti-Assad revolt.

"At least seven people were killed and many others wounded when a bomb or a car bomb exploded in Bab Touma Square in front of the police station," a Syrian official told Agence France Presse.

This was the first attack in Bab Touma, one of the oldest quarters of the capital.

The Christian hierarchy and a large part of the faithful back embattled President Bashar Assad, fearful of the influence of Islamists in the rebellion to overthrow the Syrian regime.

most likely again by the syrian government as a continuation from the achrefieh bomb plan ...trying to draw christians in and spread the war to region and also force a truce to regroup.

Shut up you clown, your so lame, everybody here makes fun of you, dint you realize or are you retarded. You make all these false accusations and never ever back it up. Always putting the blame on wahabis or salfists or Saudi or bateekh asfar. Look what your god bashar did to Syria. He destroyed it to rubbles with his fighter jets. Dont worry though if you love him so much, I hope to god you burn in hell with him for the Syrian children killed and all the women raped, and all the elderly beaten, ya watee, ya hakeer, ya nadel, itfoo alaik wa ala sharafaq
